Question: Which author is an economist, Czesław Miłosz or Bhabananda Deka?

The Economy of Assam is largely agriculture based with 69% of the population engaged in it.  Principal Bhabananda Deka was the first Assamese Economist and Research Scholar to initiate formal extensive research on economy of Assam for five centuries right from the time of Srimanta Sankardev.  His research based book "Asomor Arthaneeti"(Economy of Assam) is acknowledged as the first ever research based Assamese book on Assam Economics.  The first edition of this historic milestone book was published in 1963.  Over the years, he authored 115(one hundred fifteen) books encompassing economics, heritage, tribal studies and ancient literature of Assam.  All the present scholars, teachers and students of economics in Assam read and refer to his books on economics, and follow in the path shown by him till his day of death on 4 December 2006.  A documentary film "Golden Jubilee of Assam Economics Research & Pioneer Assam Economist-Litterateur" was officially released in 2014 commemorating completion of 50 years of publication of first Assamese book on economy of Assam by the pioneer Assam economist Principal Bhabananda Deka. <SEP> Robert Pinsky (born October 20, 1940) is an American poet, essayist, literary critic, and translator.
