内容简介 在线阅读本书

The Risk of India: Its Transformation from Poverty to Prosperity is an extremely interesting read. The book speaks not only to the mind and intellect but also to the heart as it clearly demonstrates that economic development is above all a question of people. It also shows that the Indian society, and particularly its youth, is much more open to changes than its political and bureaucratic class, and would welcome a third wave of reforms that would help the poor to benefit from economic progress. I strongly recommend this book. It offers a very unique and rich description of today′s India from the author′s perspective and many well chosen anecdotes. – Colette Mathur, Director World Economic Forum

This fascinating work weaves together a set of seemingly diverse events into an intricate tapestry capturing the essence and purpose of emerging India. It is also an inspiration to people in "Challenged" economies that the power of honest entrepreneurship can bring about a greater transformation than the best intentions of any government. Well–researched and well–written, this book is a good guide for developing countries to leverage the potential of people and its inherent strengths. It also brings out the challenge for India that more reforms are necessary, not less. – Nandan M Nilekani, CEO & Managing Director Infosys Technologies Limited

The Rise of India is an insightful and engaging story of India before and after the 1991 reforms. There are many academic tomes on India′s reforms but none is as comprehensive, lucid, and earthy.

This book is a must read for all policy makers, students of economics, and activists of all stripes. read, understand, and become part of the revolution–a continued rise of India! – Parth J. Shah, President, Centre for Civil Society
