Eco-yatra: traversing the path of India's economic change for the last six decades / Gupta, Prosenjit Das 2011  Book
Gupta, Prosenjit Das Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication New Delhi, Tata McGraw Hill Education Private Limited, 2011.
Description xii, 184pGreen Spine
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

Growth delusion: The wealth and well-being of nations / Pilling, David 2018  Book
Pilling, David Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication London, Bloomsbury Publishing, 2018.
Description viii, 338pWhite spine
Summary/Abstract Pilling argues that we need to measure our successes and failures using different criteria. While for economic growth, heroin consumption and prostitution are worth more than volunteer work or public services, in a rational world we would learn how to value what makes economies better, not just what makes them bigger. So much of what is important to our wellbeing, from clean air to safe streets and from steady jobs to sound minds, lies outside the purview of our standard measure of success. We prioritise growth maximisation without stopping to think about the costs. In prose that cuts through the complex language so often wielded by a priesthood of economists, Pilling argues that our steadfast loyalty to growth is informing misguided policies - and contributing to a rising mistrust of experts that is shaking the very foundations of our democracy.
