The Indian Economy: Problems and Prospects, first published in 1992, looks at the country's economy and the resolved fiscal crisis from a historical perspective. Edited and updated with a new Introduction by BimalJalan, the book retains the thirteen essays written by eminent economic thinkers in 1991 and 1992 in their original form as they provide a comprehensive overview of India's economic development since Independence and answer questions on key economic issues that are as relevant today as they were at that time.
Bipan Chandra conducts a historical survey of fiscal developments during the colonial period, the late V.M. Dandekar evaluates India's economic performance from 1950 to 1990, and RakeshMohan traces the history of industrial controls from the pre-independence era. Also included are essays by C.H. HanumanthaRao, C. Rangarajan and NarendraJadhav, Raja Chelliah, SudiptoMundle and M. GovindaRao, Jyoti and KiritParikh, PravinVisaria, T.S. Papola, PranabBardhan and KaushikBasu. In his revised Introduction, BimalJalan assesses the country's economic progress since 1991, examines crucial events and their relative significance.
Exploring diverse aspects of the Indian economy as well as the political, institutional and legal implications of economic reforms, these insightful and revelatory essays will be of enormous interest to experts and the general reader alike.
