     Summary

This book, written by two distinguished analysts of the Indian economy, is a comprehensive evaluation of these reforms. It analyses the progress made in the last five years, considers the likelihood of its continuance and suggests an agenda for the future. The authors cover all the major areas of policy- stabilization, taxation and trade, domestic and external finance, industry, agriculture, factor markets, the social sectors, and poverty alleviation. Will India realize its great economic potential by freeing itself from the self-imposed constraints that have hindered its development? What further steps should policy-makers take to facilitate the transition and what should be the priorities for action? These are some of the important and fascinating questions considered. This up-to-date and authoritative analysis of India’s reforms will interest policymakers, academics, students, journalists, businessmen and company executives, indeed anyone curious about the course of India’s reform programme.
