Reviewsedit
Nandan Nilekani said that in this book the author has "so convincingly argued (that) open policies and rapid economic growth are the best antidotes for poverty reduction."[1]
The review in Foreign Affairs said, "This is a massive research study that will command the respect of scholars who like to pore over tables, graphs, and charts in search of patterns and connections in the data."[2]
Economist Sally Razeen said that by this book, "Arvind Panagariya has written probably the best all-around, up-to-date, and accessible book on the Indian economy."[3]
