SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This two-volume work provides an account of how India has been meeting its myriad of economic, political and social challenges and how things are expected to evolve in the future. In this first volume, Jha presents a long view of the performance of the Indian economy and discusses key aspects of India's population, land and labor. In addition, the Indian Constitution and basic structure of governance are analysed within the context of major economic and political developments in independent India. Raghbendra Jha is Professor of Economics at the Australian National University. He has published extensively in the areas of macroeconomics, public economics and social welfare, with a country focus on India.
