भारत में आर्थिक विश्लेषण अक्सर राज्य-केंद्रित होता है। हालाँकि, राज्यों के भीतर भी काफ़ी आर्थिक भिन्नताएँ हैं। भारत को क्षेत्रीय विविधता के नज़रिए से देखना शायद ज़्यादा सटीक होगा- 85 क्षेत्रों का देश, जिनमें से प्रत्येक की अपनी अर्थव्यवस्था, भौगोलिक पहचान, संसाधन और कुशलता हैं। इस नज़रिए से भारत कैसा दिखता है? क्षेत्रीय स्तर पर विश्लेषण से हम भारत के बारे में क्या सीख सकते हैं? इस विषय पर विस्तार से  चर्चा के लिए पुलिया पर जुड़ती है अर्थशात्री और लेखिका डॉ. पूर्णिमा डोरे।
Economic analysis in India is often state-centric. However, there is quite some economic divergence even within states. It’s probably more accurate to look at India through the lens of its regional diversity-a country of 85 regions, each with their own economy, geographic identity, resources and skill sets. What can we learn about India when we adopt this lens? To discuss this, we talk to Dr. Poornima Dore, an economist and author of ‘Regional Economic Diversity’. 
We discuss:
* Why focus on regional diversity?
* Are regions political entities too?
* Understanding the agglomeration effect
* Who comes first? Industry or people?
* A lack of regional political consciousness?
* Planning at regional level
* Specialisation or Diversification?
* Enabling conditions and organic growth

ये अंक २०१९ लोक सभा चुनाव के पहले प्रकाशित किया गया था
इलोन मस्क के EVM से जुड़े ट्वीट ने इस मशीन को एक बार फिर अख़बारों के प्रथम पृष्ठ पर ले आया है | तो पुलियाबाज़ी में हमने इस प्रश्न से हटकर मतदान प्रक्रिया को समझने का प्रयास किया | इस पुलियाबाज़ी में हमारे गेस्ट है श्री अलोक शुक्ला जो २००९ और २०१४ के बीच भारत के डिप्टी इलेक्शन कमिश्नर रह चुके हैं | उनकी किताब Electronic Voting Machines: The True Story इवीएम पर लग रही आलोचनाओं का मुँहतोड़ जवाब देती है | इस पुलियाबाज़ी में हमने उनके सामने यह सवाल रखे:
* संसद चुनाव के लिए प्रक्रिया कब और कैसे शुरू होती है ?
* चुनाव आयोग एक स्वतन्त्र संवैधानिक संस्था है - इस संरचना का ECI अफसरों पर आपके मुताबिक क्या फ़र्क पड़ता है? क्या सब पार्टियाँ चुनाव आयोग के पास चुगली करने आती रहती है?
* EVM के आने से पहले क्या तकलीफें होती थी चुनाव करवाने में ?
* EVM का आईडिया कब पहले आया? क्या क्या विरोध रहे है EVM के ख़िलाफ़?
* EVM और राजनैतिक दलों का रिश्ता कैसा रहा है?
* EVM की छवि सुधारने के लिए ECI को क्या करना चाहिए?
In the 1971 General Elections, it was alleged that ballot papers were tampered with vanishing and reappearing ink such that the vote stamp miraculously disappeared from another candidate and reappeared against the Congress candidate instead. This is not different from today when political parties blame the Electronic Voting Machine for their losses. Elon Musk's recent tweet is another instantiation of this debate.So, in this episode, we investigate the Indian electoral process and the EVM itself. To help us understand this better, we are joined by Dr Alok Shukla, who served as Deputy Election Commissioner between 2009 and 2014. Dr Shukla has served as an international observer for elections in several countries and has been decorated with the Prime Minister’s Award for Excellence in Administration in 2010. His latest book, Electronic Voting Machines: The True Story, is an authoritative account of electronic voting machines.
(This is a retelecast of an episode we recorded in 2019 before the Lok Sabha elections that year)

नीतियां बनाते वक़्त, ये समझना ज़रूरी होता है कि लोग कैसे सोचते हैं और कैसे अपना व्यवहार तय करते हैं, तभी कामयाब और फायदेमंद नीतियां बन पाएंगी। लेकिन, क्या नीति बनाने वाले ये मान लें कि लोग अक्सर अतार्किक फैसले लेते हैं या ये कि लोग ज़्यादातर विवेकशील होते हैं? आखिर, ऐसी मान्यताओं के आधार पर कैसी नीतियां बनेंगी? आइये, करते हैं आज इसी पर चर्चा। 
In the realm of policymaking, understanding human behavior is crucial for crafting effective and impactful solutions. However, a central debate revolves around whether policymakers should assume humans are inherently rational or irrational beings. What kind of policies will such assumptions lead to? We argue against the assumption of human irrationality and examine its implications for policy formulation. 
We discuss:
* Making decisions for others
* Assuming irrationality
* Humans are reasonable
* Is buying lottery irrational
* A lottery to increase voting percentage
* Empathy vs Compassion
