Ravi Batra Biography

Ravi Batra is an Indian-American economist, author, and professor. He is best known for his book "The Great Depression of 1990," published in 1985 and became a bestseller. In this book, Batra predicted that a major economic crisis was imminent and that it would be caused by excessive debt and wealth inequality. His prediction did not come true in 1990, but he gained a large following of readers interested in his ideas. Batra received his Ph.D. in economics from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. He has held teaching positions at numerous universities, including the University of Texas at Dallas, Southern Methodist University, and the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Batra's research interests include macroeconomics, income distribution, and economic growth. He has written several books on these topics, including "The Myth of Free Trade," "The Downfall of Capitalism and Communism," and "The New Golden Age: The Coming Revolution against Political Corruption and Economic Chaos." Batra's economic views are often considered controversial and outside the mainstream. He is a proponent of protectionist policies, including tariffs and import quotas, to promote domestic industries and reduce trade deficits. He also advocates for greater income redistribution and has been critical of the concentration of wealth in the hands of a small elite. Despite the controversy surrounding his views, Batra has remained an influential economic figure and continues to write and speak on economic issues.
