OESY,
You found the wrong “Subroto Roy” at Wiki. You need to be careful when using Google: There are at least 18 “famous” Subroto Roys out there, apparently...
The one who authored this article is actually an economist who studied free market economics, and who has visited George Mason University’s Public Choice Center (where conservative economist & Nobel Prize winner, James Buchanan, works).
Roy is a Public Choice Economist. He is simply making speculative institutional observations. Public Choice Economists like to ponder legal/economic issues, and the effects of different institutional incentives on personal conduct and economic progress. They are very nerdy.
I am sure the Subroto Roy of this piece has no “ax” to grind despite what all of the messages above have to say.
