Essays on To Uphold The World

These two review articles give a particularly good overview of both the historical and contemporary themes I attemped to address in To Uphold the World. The first is from the Kyoto Journal, an award winning English language quarterly on culture and ideas in modern Asia based in Japan. The second is from the Economic and Political Weekly, arguably the leading weekly academic peer reviewed journal for the social sciences in India, which has served as an opinion forming chronicle of modern India since 1949.

"To Uphold the World carries a Foreword by Amartya Sen, and also engages seriously with his writing, together with Martha Nussbaum, on human capabilities. Rich is similarly engaged with the progressive ideas of Karl Polanyi, Manuel Castells, Vaclav Havel, Joseph Stiglitz and a number of other contemporary thinkers and theorists, including Hardt and Negri."
