He generally drew his insights from Marx and Keynes and illuminated the problems of underdevelopment with his own analytical perspective seeped in history. In this paper, we take an in-depth look at Bagchi’s huge scholarly output, classified into major thematic areas, which are industrialisation, the behaviour of investment, and the role of the state in a mixed economic system; colonialism and its connection with the growth of global capitalism; and conceptualising a global history of capitalism from the perspective of human development.-Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2026/18/special-articles/intellectual-contributions-amiya-kumar-bagchi.html  aEconomic & Political Weekly
