Description:... India has embarked on a period of radical changes in its economic policies. People argue about whether these changes have gone too far or not far enough. This book examines the whole range of issues in question from macroeconomics, fiscal and balance of payments policies, to reforms in agriculture and industry, finance, taxation, Centre-State economic relations and changing social sector expenditure. The political economy of reform is also analysed. This discussion leads to the conclusion that though an impressive amount of reform has been achieved, what remains to be done may prove to be difficult politically.
