Economic Development, Asian Economies, Economic Growth

Academic Foundation : New Delhi , 2006

This book shows that there have been two phases in India's economic history. The period of socialist stagnation, till the end of the seventies, in which India's growth rate was among the lowest in the World and poverty increased despite professions of socialism. The second period of market reform starting in 1980s vaulted us to the top of the growth sweepstakes and led a sharp and continuing decline in poverty. The book shows how India is poised to become a global power in the next 15 to 20 years, and why India is likely to become, over the next 30 years, the third pole in the emerging tripolar world of the 21st Century.

Engaging China and India: an economic agenda for Japan and the United States

China and India have catapulted onto the world stage. In contrast to the Cold War years when they largely sat on the sidelines, Asia’s emerging twin giants are now transforming the international economy in fundamental ways. Their burgeoning economies are shifting global markets, reshaping trade and investment patterns, and directly affecting the planet’s environment. While this development has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty, it has also raised concerns about the potential economic and political dislocations in other countries. China’s and India’s imprint will become all the deeper in the years ahead as both evolve into centers of technological innovation and scientific excellence. China’s and India’s rise has already sparked adverse reactions in the two countries that currently sit atop the world’s economic hierarchy: the United States and Japan.
