UPSC Economics Optional

Hello sir, I’m preparing for the UPSC exam. Is there any one can provide me some books for UPSC Economics Optional?

[Rajkumar Agarwal]

In the UPSC exam from last two-three years, UPSC seems to be awarding economics well and it is no longer considered to be a ‘low-scoring’ optional.

The entire subject is technical in comparison to the other mainstream optional but is equally relevant in current times.

The input output ratio of this optional is positively correlated and it is unlikely that if you have done the paper well that you will get low marks.
