Economic and Human Development in Contemporary India: Cronyism and fragility, by Debdas Banerjee

India's wealth vis-a-vis the world has grown simultaneously. No matter whether India lags far behind in terms of per capita income, the number of her high-net-worth- individual exceed that of such global business hubs as Singapore and Hong Kong. This book is trying to delineate the issues in economic development in India. It highlights those factors that are indicative of India’s emergence in the global economy yet indicates negative "trickle down" effects, such as malnutrition, poverty, bonded labourers, high adult unemployment and the widespread use of child labour. With India as a case study, this book provides a solid framework for looking at developing economies which will be useful to policy-makers and to graduate and post-doctoral students and researchers in the areas of development studies and economics.
