At RightVIEWS, our motto is Complex, made clear.
In this endeavour, books are critical tools for reaching our audience. We believe complex subjects can be simplified to a certain extent. We cover different subjects and give insightful research backed by authenticated sources.
We follow an easy-to-understand ebook-style format with many pictures and easy-to-understand text. This style is inspired by Slidedocs, created by Nancy Duarte.
We have made the following books free to download. (Please click the button to download).
How Cities Rise
This book presents a hypothesis explaining WHY urbanisation happens, the stages of urbanisation and HOW it happens. It highlights ideas from Ronald Coase, O.E. Williamson, etc. It posits that there are transaction costs to set up the firm itself, and those costs are higher in rural areas than in urban areas. It highlights the relevance of Elin Ostrom's ideas on commons as critical. It also talks about Urban Commons as different from Commons. It says that Jane Jacob's communities were, in fact, urban commons.
Semiconductor Manufacturing
In this first edition, we will restrict ourselves to the Silicon chip manufacturing process and the technologies involved. We want to simplify this complex industry so our young entrepreneurs can break new ground and leapfrog in this critical skill.
Hinduism - The Framework of Basics
Can you tell me about Hinduism? That question hides many questions. Do you have millions of Gods? Is Hinduism scientific? Do you have a caste system? How does Hinduism compare with other religions?
This book aims to give a bird’s eye view of Hinduism.
Israel-Palestine Conflict - A Primer
This book aims to clarify the basic issue and state of affairs as they stand today. It is meant to give the reader a lens through which to view the developments in Israel-Palestinian relations and the broader Middle East peace issue in the proper context.
A Future Without Poverty
I discuss the Snakes and Ladders model for poverty alleviation and share some insights about the lives of the poor.
Theatrical Backdrops and the Art of V. V. Divkar
This book aims to highlight some of the works of V. V. Divkar and explain some finer aspects involved in creating mesmerising theatrical backdrops.
India Growth- Many Big Ideas
I share the FSLP model for Indian Growth—a plan to harness the animal spirits, flag the opportunities, and describe the strategies that will help India rise economically and socially.
Subverting Capitalism and Democracy - Systemic Faults that Caused the Financial Crisis (Not Free, Amazon link)
I explain the deep systemic faults that resulted in the Financial Crisis of 2008. The book is still relevant because those faults have not yet been addressed. In fact, they have magnified. I propose a model of economics based on Coase Transaction Costs and Porter’s Competitive forces. I believe this model may lead us to better solutions.
Understanding Firms - The Manager’s Model of the Firm (not free, Amazon link)
In this book, I apply the model of economics based on Coase Transaction Costs and Porter’s Competitive Forces to firms. It gives us insights as to how firms create value, what mergers and acquisitions will work, the boundaries of the firm and recommends new direction for corporate strategy.
