India's challenge over the next two decades will be to maintain and increase the
encouraging growth rates over the past few years whilst empowering and investing
in people, particularly poor people. Innovation and investment will be at the
heart of any success. This important book provides a powerful analytical
contribution to this challenge that will be of lasting value.
