"Is this really India's century? The country's infrastructure push and the emergence of a dynamic high-tech sector suggest that the answer is yes. But other factors, such as pervasive regional inequality and underinvestment in education, are reasons for doubt. There is no one better than Rajan and Lamba for helping us weigh the arguments."-- Barry Eichengreen , University of California, Berkeley "In a world where governments are increasingly embracing nationalism, Rajan and Lamba set out a daring blueprint for inclusive Indian growth based on economic and political openness. Their insightful, engaging, and inspiring book is essential reading for anyone interested in India or economic development."-- Maurice Obstfeld , Peterson Institute for International Economics "[A] lively, lucid, and persuasive book. A must-read for anyone who cares about India's economic future." --Gurcharan Das, former CEO of Procter & Gamble India and author of A Masterclass on India "Rajan and Lamba display impressive knowledge of global economic and technological trends, combine it with a clear-eyed treatment of India's needs, policy process, and political economy, and chart an innovative way forward.

An eye-opening read!" --Ashutosh Varshney, Brown University "It has the great merit of recognizing that politics and economics are intertwined and takes a holistic view of India's development. It also suggests a unique Indian pathway for India to succeed in its transformation into a modern, prosperous, and secure country through innovative, high-value, breakthrough growth." --Shivshankar Menon, former Foreign Secretary of India.
