Rezensionen

The Indian Economy: Issues, Policies and Performances is a concise but comprehensive discussion of the evolution of the Indian economy and the transition in economic policies from the Nehruvian era to current times. Chapters on the demographic transition in India, sectoral changes in the Indian economy over time, comparisons between India and China and a discussion of the socioeconomic impact of COVID-19 and the policy response are highlights of the book. Written by authors with long teaching experience, the book is a must have for undergraduate students and faculty teaching courses on Indian Economics.
