Description
This set of five volumes documents the life and work of Manmohan Singh, an academic, a policymaker, and a politician who has had a deep impact on India and its economy. The volumes offer his selected speeches, articles, and interviews, starting from the 1950s, when he was in the academia, through the 1980s and 1990s, when he was India's finance minister, to 2004-14, when he was the prime minister of India. Manmohan Singh's writings reflect on the reforms that transformed the Indian economy and lay the foundations for a stronger medium-term growth story than the kind that India had witnessed in the preceding 44 years since Independence. The five volumes bring together Singh's essays and speeches on various subjects- economic reforms, India's export trends and the prospects for self-sustained growth, trade and development, and international economic order and equity in development.
Reviews / Votes
Changing India documents the enduring legacy of a man of many parts who changed India. It deserves to be read not only by economists and policymakers but by anyone who wants to understand the economic and political journey of modern India. * Upinder Sawhney, Indian Economic Review * This will be an important collection of the works of a scholar, bureaucrat and politician who has had made an indelible mark on the Indian economy and its foreign policy: as the finance minister in the Narasimha Rao government to allow India to escape from its Hindu rate of growth, and later as the Prime Minister in charting a de facto alliance with the US to escape the cul de sac of the policy of non-alignment" These Books will constitute a major publication for the somewhat rare reason of being Books that combine scholarship with practical policy concern at a level and fineness seldom seen. The author is special because he ranged over the academic world. In any case this will be a publication worth waiting for." 14/01/2019More details
