Matthew Mccartney

India - The Political Economy of Growth, Stagnation and the State, 1951-2007

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Examines economic growth in India from 1951 onwards. This title argues that growth and stagnation should be considered over the medium term, and that the precise role of the state - in relation to particular historical and political-economic circumstances - is more important than the overall level of state involvement or disengagement.

---

Understanding the drivers and inhibitors of economic growth is critical for promoting development in less developed countries, including India. This book examines economic growth in India from 1951 to the present, challenging many accepted orthodox views.
