Description
Based on the author's research over the past 20 years, this volume contains his observations on the Indian economy. The issues discussed include: the spread of agricultural growth, in the 1980s, to the less developed regions, and the consequent decline in real poverty there; the paucity of resources, in the same period, caused by mounting subsidies; the fall in real public investment in agriculture, caused by this paucity; increasing environmental degradation due to the slow rate of land - augmenting technological change; and the inequitable distribution of gains in agriculture.
