- What is social justice? What is the purpose of society? Do social values need to undergo a change? What biases plague the urban Indian middle class?
- Do markets factor in the environmental and social costs of a business venture? Why are the decisions of the corporate world based only on short term gains?
- How does opulent consumption affect society as a whole? Is there a limit to growth? Do we need to rethink economics? Is austerity overrated?
- Will climate change effect us all? How will the poor react to inequalities of wealth? Is the theory of comparative advantage overrated? Is trade fair?
- What is the role of the media? What is corruption? What is its root cause? How do we define good and bad?
- What is the future of the world? Do we need the death sentence? What is liberty? What is freedom? What is equality?
These are just some of the questions that this blog attempts to answer.

"No one can be a thinker who does not recognise, that as a thinker it is his first duty to follow his intellect to whatever conclusions it may lead. Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think."
- John Stuart Mill
"I (may) disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
- Evelyn Beatrice Hall
