India in Search of Glory: Political Calculus and Economy by Ashok K Lahiri, New Delhi: Penguin, 2022; pp 712, ₹1,499.
This large, sprawling work takes readers through many economic, political, and policy episodes and events that are rarely placed together in one book and with such detail. It draws from the author’s rich experience as a scholar, administrator, policymaker, and now a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) member of the legislative assembly in West Bengal. The central vein is an account of macroeconomic growth and distribution, which the book frames as a national “search for glory” as it explores politics and policies to explain the macroeconomic story of post-independence India.- Reproduced
