Bitcoins and Bubbles

-

An informative and knowledge-enriching guest lecture was organised on the 14th of August, 2018 by Economica, headed by Mrs. Anita Hamand in collaboration with the Economics department lead by Dr. Prakash Salvi in D.G. Ruparel College of Arts, Science and Commerce.
Dr. Indradeep Ghosh, the speaker, is the Dean and an Associate Professor at Meghnad Desai Academy of Economics. He has published research papers across various national and international journals. He has a rich teaching experience in an array of subjects related to Economics.
The purpose of the lecture was to introduce complicated topics of Bubbles and Bitcoins in a more simplified and easily comprehensible way so that it can be understood by students from all streams. The seminar commenced with a brief introduction of Meghnad Desai Academy of Economics and the courses offered there, by Dr. Indradeep Ghosh himself, followed by a small opening speech by a SYBA student and bestowal of a bouquet as a token of gratitude. The opening speech was quite informative as it presented us with the speaker's credentials.
The seminar proceeded with Dr. Ghosh giving all students an insight of the topic. He started by giving us a glimpse of the meaning of asset in economic terms. He did not use too many technical words and kept it simple. His lecture was relatable to real life as he used universally famous examples. Then he smoothly made a move further to explain us the intriguing concept of Bubbles and Bitcoins using a presentation, wherein he elaborately explained all minute components of the same. The lecturer thoughtfully cited a hefty number of tactically selected examples to which most of us could relate comfortably. Furthermore, the talk was very interactive as the speaker courteously resolved all queries of the students during the lecture. A 10-15 minutes question-answer round disentangled all students’ queries.
Finally, the talk concluded on a happy note with a vote of thanks by a TYBA student. Overall, the talk was extremely captivating as it not only included approachable examples from real life but had an interesting question-answer round at the end. Last but not the least, we sincerely hope that Economica will keep on organizing such impressively knowledge-complementing events for all kinds of students.

Mahima with the book I thought I knew the story of Anne Frank and in a way I did, I knew about the world she lived in, the way she had lived in The secret annexe for 2 years, only to be captured so close to the end of the World War. However, I never really knew Anne's story; at least not until I read the diary, "Anne Frank : The Diary of a Young Girl”.             In this diary along with the personal reflections, thoughts and dreams, Anne Frank captures the grave tragedies inflicted by the madness of the Nazi regime and the Second World War.            Anne had mentioned of receiving a diary for her 13th birthday and soon had made up her mind that her diary wouldn't just be an account of what she did each day. "I hope I shall be able to confide in you completely, as I have never been able to do in anyone before, and I hope that you will be a great supporter and co...

Economics 101

Economics is a subject that most don’t understand. But those who do, appear extremely intelligent. So what can one do to become an economics whizz? Here’s a list of things you can do to pretend to know all about this complicated subject. Leggo’ 1. Economic Times: Have you ever seen that thick, dull coloured newspaper that comes along with The Times of India? The one that you promptly stack on the pile of recyclable paper? Well, the next time you receive a copy of the most boring paper on Earth, don’t toss it away. Instead, pretend to read it. You won’t understand most of it but, you sure will look smart and maybe just maybe, some of what you read will seep into your brain. 2. Alfred Marshall: Remember this name. Alfred Marshall, ladies and gentlemen, is one of the most influential economists (that I know of and I don’t know much.). He’s made and discovered so many theories and principles in economics that chances are, if you make up your own theory and pass it under his name,...
