| Summary/Abstract |
8 November 2016 was a black swan event in Indian history. At one stroke, 86 per cent of the currency in circulation was demonetized, causing confusion, chaos and endless misery to the common Indian. While the Modi government claimed that it was the silver bullet that India needed to eliminate many of its longstanding problems such as black money, corruption, tax evasion and terror funding, the months that followed proved it otherwise. The return of 99. 7 per cent of the banned 500 rupee and 1,000-rupee notes showed that the RBI's idea of Demonetization Dividend was nothing but a mirage. In the process, livelihoods of millions in the informal sector were destroyed, causing enormous distress to farmers and, traders and forcing many micro, small and medium businesses into bankruptcy. One of India's most respected bankers, Meera H. Sanyal provides the most comprehensive analysis of the policy, its execution and pitfalls. The Big Reverse presents unprecedented insights backed by data, history and research. And as a result, answers the questions that still continue to haunt Indians, on the what, why and how of demonetization.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Economics of Small Things is a quirky and, at times, quite personal book containing ruminations by the author Sudipta Sarangi about a host of quotidian issues. Many of these are questions or puzzles that we have often contemplated. Here Sarangi attempts to answer these using lucid prose, an economic lens and an engaging style. Many of the chapters in the current book appeared as columns in an Indian newspaper. (The author seems to have been fortunate in having a magnanimous editor who gave the author lots of column inches to explicate his ideas!) The author is also of Indian origin. Consequently, many of the examples and situations are more relevant to Indians or possibly Anglophiles, than others. This is not a disqualification by any means since we are used to reading books and watching movies from various other cultures and languages. Often in doing so we not only admire the craft of the creators but also learn interesting highlights of cultures that we are not familiar with. So, not surprisingly, Sarangi has a chapter on cricket and another on P.G. Wodehouse, two things uniquely Indian.

| Summary/Abstract |
Draws on everyday examples to expose the favourite economic fallacies of the right and the left, making it clear how virtually all commonly held beliefs about the economy- whether espoused by political activitists, politicians, journalists, or taxpayers - are just plain wrong, and why it is only through economic literacy that we can come to a sober assessment of the strengths and weakness of capitalism.

| Summary/Abstract |
This book tells the story of how change took place over the last 60 years or so, when in 1952 Jawaharlal Nehru presented the nation with the First Five Year Plan with an investment plan of just Rs 2,070 crore (in comparison, the Tenth Plan 2002-2007 had an outlay of Rs 1,484,131 crore). It sifts through hard economic data, while bringing out the broad trend lines, without losing sight that economic development also has an underlying human dimension. Thus, at one level, the book traces the changes that impacted the people at a human level; at another, it takes the reader past the major milestones on the road to economic change over the last 60 years; not in a bookish way, but as a chronicle of national and individual aspirations and achievements

| Summary/Abstract |
addresses these all-important questions arising within diverse Indian contexts: informal economy, low-cost settings, large business groups, entertainment and copyright industries, an evolving pharma sector, a poorly organized and appallingly underfunded public health system, social enterprises for the urban poor, and innovations-for-the-millions. Its balanced perspective on India's promises and failings makes it a valuable addition for those who believe that India's future banks heavily on its ability to leapfrog using innovation, as well as those sceptical of the Indian state's belief in the potential of private enterprise and innovation. It also provides critical insights on innovation in general, the most important of which being the highly context-specific, context-driven character of the innovation project.
