Pankaj Mishra — The Buddha in the World (Jan 22, 2009)

A few years ago, journalist Pankaj Mishra pursued the social relevance of the Buddha's thought across India and Europe, Afganistan and America. He emerged with a startling critique of Western political economy that is even more resonant at present. Mishra is the author of "An End to Suffering: The Buddha in the World," and a frequent contributor to the New York Review of Books, the New York Times, and The Guardian.
