| Summary |
Dr D.K. Rangnekar was a leading public intellectual noted for his editorship at the Economic Times and later the Business Standard. This collection brings together a careful selection of his writings that are organized across four themes: social and political dimensions of development, international context to India's experiment, planning and budgets, and industrial and economic policy. The writings begin in the early 1960s and end in 1984-at the cusp when India's economic policies and political fabric were being radically transformed-thus, providing an important handbook of the times. |
