"A History of Economic Policy in India provides an immersive, accessible yet rigorous understanding of the Indian economy through a political economy framework. It provides a birds-eye view of the politics, context, and ideas that shaped major economic policies in independent India and argues that they are the product of crisis, coalitions, and contingency - not necessarily choice.
