About the Book

Bimal Jalanșs formidable analysis of the last four decades of Indiașs economic journey illuminates the nationșs transition from a strictly regulated, slow-growth state enterprise to one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. Dr. Jalan has had a ringside view of financial governance during his long and distinguished career, which included stints as Union Finance Secretary and Governor of the Reserve Bank of India. Drawing on this vast experience he compares two distinct periods: 198ȓ2 and 2ȓ15, to examine the core changes and their significance and considers their lessons for the immediate future.

Dr Jalan suggests six critical issues where change can make a difference: revisit the anti-defection law so parties that join a coalition cannot defect without having to seek re-election; make the statesȔrather than the centreȔresponsible for financial development programmes and poverty-alleviation schemes; establish rules to make Parliamentșs proceedings orderly and purposeful; ensure a stable and competitive economic environment; make sure ministries are accountable for actual performance; and, finally, rationalize the system of delivery of public services to persons below the poverty line.

With such measures, India can become one of the fastest-growing emerging global powers and ensure that the benefits of such growth reach all her people.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
