Summary |
As governor of the reserve bank of India between 2003 and 2008, Dr Y.V. Reddy stayed the course of financial pragmatism in times of relentless deregulation. Through visionary leadership, finely calibrated financial management and a prescient reading of global economic indicators, he ensured India largely escaped the fate that befell the worst affected of the world’s economies.
In 2009, Dr Reddy told the story of India and the global financial crisis, an account of his five years at the helm of the RBI at a time of multiple challenges for the Indian economy. This new book is a sequel to last year’s bestselling work. It provides a thinker and experienced policymaker’s understanding of the genesis, anatomy and impact of the financial crisis, and of the lessons it offered. It contains perspective and analysis that Dr Reddy has not published before, presented in lucid style and non-technical language. This is a looking-ahead book for India and the world-from an oracle who has already demonstrated how clearly he sees the future.
