Ajay Shah on 'In Service of the Republic: The Art & Science of Economic Policy' at Manthan

As a $3-trillion economy, India is on her way to becoming an economic superpower. Between 1991 and 2011, the period of our best growth, there was also a substantial decline in the number of people below the poverty line. Since 2011, however, there has been a marked retreat in the high growth performance of the previous two decades.
What happened to the promise? Where have we faltered? How do we change course? How do we overcome the ever-present dangers of the middle-income trap and get rich before we grow old? And one question above all else: What do we need to do to make our tryst with destiny?
Vijay Kelkar and Ajay Shah have authored 'In Service of the Republic', a meticulously researched work that stands at the intersection of economics, political philosophy and public administration.
At Manthan, Ajay Shah, is in conversation with Ajay Gandhi on the book.
Started in 2005, Manthan has become the premier platform for thought leaders worldwide to share their thoughts and for high quality debates.

Thumbs down for the monopoly comment. No natural monopoly has ever been found to be injurious.
