ICCSR Special Lecture by Thomas Piketty

Thomas Piketty is a French economist who works on wealth and income inequality. He is a professor (directeur d'études) at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS), professor at the Paris School of Economics and Centennial professor at the London School of Economics new International Inequalities Institute.

He is the author of the best-selling book Capital in the Twenty-First Century (2013), which emphasises the themes of his work on wealth concentrations and distribution over the past 250 years. The book argues that the rate of capital return in developed countries is persistently greater than the rate of economic growth, and that this will cause wealth inequality to increase in the future. He considers that to be a problem, and to address it, he proposes redistribution through a progressive global tax on wealth.

Developmental Psychology And Education Bridging The Gap 

Edited by Malavika Kapur, Hans M. Koot and Michael Lamb. Published by ICSSR, NWO(Netherlands) and ESRC (UK) in association with Manak Publications Pvt.Ltd., 2012. ISBN: 9788178312682

What does developmental psychology bring to child education? Is scientific knowledge from studies performed in the western world universally applicable? How do we account for cultural differences when performing cross-cultural research? Is it possible to stimulate early child development? what are the relevant research questions on youth in a changing world? In search of answers to these questions a workshop was held in Cambridge, UK in September 2009, bringing together scholars from the United Kingdom, India and the Netherlands.The aim was to examine ways to bridge gaps between child development and education, theory and practice, evolution of effective educational practices and current practices, and evolution of needed knowledge on child and adolescent mental health.
