The topic of this research volume was ‘Global Meltdown-Lessons to be Learnt.

The financial crisis that erupted in the United States and led the markets to the verge of financial collapse actually blew the house of capitalism to smithereens leaving people to utter imbalances, eroded confidence, panic and pessimism. For the first time in the history of Vidya Prasarak Mandal, Thane since 1935, a workshop was held in London on the said theme, ‘Global Meltdown - Lessons to be Learnt’ on 26 May 2009. This fifth research volume includes excerpts of this important international workshop held beyond the national frontiers.

Verma and a se minar on Saturday, 13 February, 2010 on the same theme. This volume presents the proceedings of these events along with an article that elucidates the Indian perspective.
