Keep: A noted economist, policy advisor and writer. His Pricing, Planning and Politics featured prominantly in the Times (London) editorial May 29 1984. Also I think he was an advsior to Rajiv Gandhi on the 1991 economic reforms. His theory book Philosophy of economics: on the scope of reason in economic inquiry is also well known and well cited and I have added multiple independent reviews of it to the article. Published a lot in The Statesman as "contributing editor". (Msrasnw (talk) 16:17, 27 February 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Keep: Professor Roy has likely influenced a significant number of individuals in his academic career and through his writings. "Philosophy of Economics" is notable in economic literature for its plain language and use of dialogue to illustrate issues. — Preceding Scott Peterson comment added by (talk • contribs) 17:41, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
