Subramanian swamy books pdf download

Jump to ratings and reviewsIn 1970, at the request of a few Jan Sangh leaders including Nanaji Deshmukh and JagannathraoJoshi, Subramanian Swamy prepared and presented a Swadeshi Plan. The monograph vociferouslydemanded that socialism be sacrificed for a competitive market economic system, so India cangrow at 10 per cent per year,
achieve self-reliance, full employment and produce nuclear weaponry.The then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi denounced the plan as dangerous.Fifty years later, Swamy redefines his path-breaking ideas on India-specific economic developmentin his seminal work, Reset. It undertakes a nuanced analysis of the manner in which the highlyprosperous
Indian economy witnessed a long, accelerated decline due to persistent British imperialistaggression, and compares the distinctive manner in which Asian giants—India and China—sufferedat the hands of imperialism.

He critically analyses the highs and lows of the Nehruvian model ofcentralized economic planning borrowed from the Soviet Union, and the debilitating circumstancesthat impelled him, as Commerce Minister in Prime Minister Chandra Shekhar’s government, todraw up a blueprint for economic reforms.GenresEconomicsNonfictionIndia Subramanian

30, 2020This is an absolute masterpiece! ♂ The genius of Dr. Swamy ji is apparent from the very first line and the preface itself should be worthy of an award or two.
If this feels like an exaggeration, pick the book up and I bet you will say the same.Written in a lucid manner, the book is full of data, tables and charts; and traces the journey, the ups and downs of the Indian Economy from the late 19th century to the current scenario. It presents with conclusive evidence that how the British looted India and destroyed
the backbone of our economy; and subsequently how our fascination with the Soviet-model choked any chance of recovery. Later, Dr. Swamy analyses the current turmoil we are facing and suggests some radical structural changes, necessary to achieve the full potential of our might. Swamy ji emphasises with conviction that Bhārat can even achieve
10%+ rate of growth for a sustained period of time and hence has the ability to overtake China by 2030.This book should be a mandatory prescription for anyone studying Indian Economics or is interested about it. And I sincerely hope that Modi ji reads this and incorporates the brilliance of Dr. Swamy ji in his policies!January 31, 2021The only
reason I read this was because I thought it contained solutions to the mess of economy of Bharat. But to my disappointment majority of the book deals with history of the country's economy. The solution are provided in just one chapter The Modi Years.Read only if you are economics geek.July 31, 2020Dr Subramanian Swamy has explained India's
economic journey in a systematic chronology and analysed why Soviet economic model failed to get desired results in India.

He delved into detail about the inadequacies of government's 5-year plans and how they failed to recover India's dilapidated agriculture sector post-1947. Soviet model gave a growth rate of 3-4% which was an improvement from pre-1947 India. It was nevertheless too less considering India's potential, it became quite evident when India opened up in
90s. He gets into the transitions that India made in the late 80s and early 90s in which he also played a significant role in evolving India's economic policy. Dr Swamy reflects in depth on current state of Indian economy which he says, is in serious crisis. He emphasizes on urgent structural reforms to recover the economy which he says gone into a
'tailspin'. He points out the lack of vision and resultant adhocism of Modi government in matters of economy. xefirasa.pdf Poor implementation of 'Good & Services Tax' and 'Demonetisation' have further compounded the problem at hand. He censures Modi government for its blatant disregard for economic expertise in decision making and over-
reliance on bureaucracy. In conclusion he lists out concrete suggestions which can bring economic turnaround from the current state of 'tailspin'. At the end he again emphasizes the need for persons with grounding in economics at the decision making table. At last he talks of Deendayal Upadhyay's Ideology of "Integral Humanism". He extrapolates it
to the realm of economics and contrasts it with capitalism and communism. He advocates a break from 'Nehruvian Socialism' towards 'Integral Humanism' to realize India's potential to the fullest.November 27, 2019Subramanian Swamy's latest book is as firebrand as the man himself, where he deals with one of the most discussed topics today -
India's economic struggles and the way forward.The book looks at India's economy in three stages - Pre-independence, post-Independence till liberalization, and post-liberalization India. Being the analytical mind that he is, Swamy starts by setting the historical context accurately. He rightly attributes India missing the industrialization bus to the
systematic bleeding of resources and the blocking of native innovation by the Britishers. tech_toyz_aerodrone_microquad_manual.pdf Although it's a well-established fact now, it still gives the reader the right mental framework in thinking about the progress of India's economy in spite of such dire circumstances. Second, he speaks about the
inexcusable adoption of the Soviet-style command economy by Nehru and subsequent governments, which led to India missing the globalization wave. India had a GDP growth of a mere 4% for close to 40 years post Independence. In comparison, countries with far lesser resources like Singapore and South Korea were able to progress rapidly with a
GDP growth of more than 10% every year. Swamy speaks of his contributions in providing the Swadeshi framework for the Chandra Shekhar government, and later the Rao government. The adoption of his ideas led India from the lows of the balance of payment crisis to consistently hitting over 7% GPD growth during the 90s.We then fast forward to
the present, where Swamy paints a dire picture of the state of the economy, in what he terms as a "tailspin." A consistent lack of investment in agriculture, mismanagement of resources, demonetization, GST, lack of innovation, and policymakers who don't understand macroeconomics are cited as the main reasons for the current state of the economy.
He, however, does not consider it a point of no return. Swamy proposes various measures that can be enacted to get India back on track to over 10% GDP growth every year.
A few non-obvious ones which resonated with me are the creation of new cities and the 7 postulates proposed by Deendayalji, which focus on "Integral Humanism" and adherence to Indian ethos. Compared to other ideologies like socialism, communism, and capitalism, which are materialistic, Integral Humanism focuses on the growth of humanity in
harmony with their surroundings. It is this approach that can translate our goals into actionable policies, and it requires the right vision and expertise in Economics to do that.December 27, 2019Engrossing read on Indian economy from colonial era to present. Very precisely he finds the Achilles heels during various time periods and what better could

the most mercurial, vitriolic and eccentric politicians going about his craft today has to be Subramanian Swamy. An economist, statistician and polymath who now essays his tenure as a nominated Member of Parliament in Rajya Sabha (representing the BJP), Mr. Swamy was a member of the Planning Commission of India and also a Cabinet Minister
in the erstwhile Chandra Shekhar government. In his recent book, “Reset – Regaining India’s Economic Legacy, Mr. Swamy takes a hard as nails approach to assessing the past and present trajectory of the Indian economy, analyses in a scathingly unbiased fashion the woes permeating it before proceeding to offer a slew of solutions ranging from the
‘doable’ to the didactic. tipos de comunicación organizacional así como su función y aplicaciones Unsparing in both polemic and prose, “Reset” in a nutshell is a damning indictment of virtually every Government to have assumed the reins of power since the onset of India’s Independence.Famously – and derisively – bandied as “Santa Claus” once, by
former Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi, for suggesting a radical departure from the socialistic plank of economics, Swamy leaves no one in doubt about the repulsion he nurses for the former Soviet Union influenced model of economic planning with which India had an inextricable obsession during the Nehruvian era. To quote him, “this USSR-
inspired economic strategy was foisted on the Indian people in the ’50s by Nehru—surprisingly without much debate. This was not the strategy that Mahatma Gandhi or Sardar Patel had advocated during the freedom struggle. The author of this strategy, namely Nehru, wanted the Soviet model adopted for reasons connected with his friendship with
Lord and Edwina Mountbatten, but paradoxically, this Left ideology suited the interests of two powerful vested groups within our country: the feudal comprador class and the Left-inspired Indian intellectuals called the ‘Kim Philby’ group.”In “Reset”, Mr. Swamy examines the trajectory taken by the Indian economy over a period of 150 years from
1870 to 2019. He further splits this review period of a century and a half into three distinct segments, namely the British Imperialism (1870 – 1947); the Soviet inspired command economy model (1950-90) and finally the period of economic reforms (1991 – 2019). In so far as the period between 1870 – 1947 is concerned, Swamy rails over the
atrocities committed by the marauding colonisers and alleges that resources amounting to a jaw dropping number of $71 trillion were siphoned off by the British. gakibopewor.pdf He further expounds upon the pernicious zamindari system that heartlessly exacted every single penny from hapless farmers to fill British coffers. This section of the book
makes for some tepid reading, more so because the topic of colonial loot has been extensively covered in other notable works such as Shashi Tharoor’s Inglorious Empire.In so far as the centralized planning based on the command and control economy is concerned, Swamy reserves his uncontained displeasure and diatribe for the Governments of
Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. In the process of dismantling the very logic underlying the adoption of Central Planning, Mr. Swamy makes some incredible allegations. “The grafting of this model on Indian planning was done by a physicist-turned-statistician who had little or no formal education in Economics—Professor P.C. Mahalanobis,
founder of the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), Calcutta. Mahalanobis, a confirmed Left intellectual, had plagiarized a Soviet growth model of the 1920s authored by Grigory Feldman, and introduced it into Indian planning without acknowledging the original authorship. For years, Feldman’s model was passed off in India as ‘Mahalanobis’ Growth
Model’, till Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Economics Professor Evsey Domar discovered his plagiarism from his book Essays in the Theory of Economic Growth, and laid it bare.In highlighting the inadequacies of the “Commanding Heights” instituted by the post-independence Governments till 1991, Mr. Swamy draws the attention of his
readers to both the stagnation of the Indian economy as well as the rampant growth of other economies which had more or less commenced development on the same pedestal as India. “The so-called ‘Four Tigers’, namely South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore, with less trained manpower and fewer natural resources, have moved from the
Third World category to First World status (or Newly Industrialized Countries [NIC]) in just one generation! The per capita income of South Korea, for example, in 1962 was $82, comparable to India’s $70 at that time. Today, South Korea’s per capita income is about nine times that of India’s current level.”However, there could be discerned an
element of inconsistency in Mr. Swamy’s contention as while on the one hand he alleges that South Korea’s per capita income is about nine times that of India, he contradicts himself in a succeeding passage in the book where he contends that South Korea’s per capita income is about thirteen times that of India.Mr. Swamy’s stinging criticism is not
restricted to the Congress Government alone. The current BJP led Narendra Modi Government also comes in for some spectacular rebuke. Alleging that the economy currently is in a ‘tailspin’ and if left unchecked, has the potential to spiral into a disastrous zone, Mr. Swamy lays down a litany of woes from which the economy suffers. The much
reviled and recalled moves of demonetization and Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) lie front and centre of Mr. Swamy’s wrath. Terming the GST implementation as a “flop”, Mr. Swamy goes on to pan the Government for its introduction. “The GST as a practical measure has been a flop, borrowed unthinkingly from the previous UPA government.
Despite my sole protest in the Parliament, it was introduced much as a carnival, with gongs reverberating, and the president, prime minister, speaker of the Lok Sabha and the finance minister on stage. Today, we are saddled with redistributed tax revenue collection of nearly 1 trillion.”For Mr. Swamy, if GST was an untimely measure gone awry,
demonetization is but the handmaiden of disaster! Quoting similar demonetization experiments conducted in Europe, Mr. Swamy brings his reader’s attention to the fact that 99.15 percent and 98.77 percent of Italian Lira and French Francs respectively were returned over a ten-year period.

However, the most damning aspect of the demonetization, as also the very evidence of its catastrophe is the fact that Indians managed to return a whopping 99.3 percent of the demonetized value in just sixty days! Mr. Swamy also lays down a slew of ingenious means which people and businesses resort to, to convert black money into legitimate
currency such as routing them to Shell companies, foreign accounts, deposits in Jan Dhan accounts, round tripping schemes whereby money is sent to Nepal before being remitted back into India etc.Mr. Swamy after waxing eloquent on the pitfalls and perils of the economy, proposes a slew of ameliorating measures before ending his work with a
metaphysical flourish by quoting from the late Deen Dayal Upadhyaya’s Treatise on Integral Humanism. Some of the mechanisms that Mr. Swamy exhorts the Modi-Government to implement post-haste include:Abolishing Income tax and freeing the individual from the grip of ‘tax terrorism’;Raising GDP growth rate to more than 10 per cent, by
propelling a corresponding increase in the rate of investment, (including FDI) to 38 per cent of GDP from the present 29 per cent;Households to be incentivized by abolishing personal income tax to raise savings back to 34 per cent of the GDP;For fixed deposits in banks, the rate of interest should not be less than 9 per cent. This will boost
institutional and household savings in fixed deposits; andTo invest in innovations and enhancing the Total Factor ProductivityMr. Swamy spares no blushes however in blowing his own trumpet. Harping on the invaluable and precocious nature of the Samuelson-Swamy Theory of Index Numbers, Mr. Swamy also makes it known in no uncertain terms
that the economic reforms and liberalization which were promulgated by the Narasimha Rao Government originally stemmed from a reform paper conceived by him when he was a Cabinet Minister in the Chandrashekar Government. This is not the first time Mr. Swamy has issued such proclamations.
He once took to Twitter to menacingly make the following declaration:“If I apply Samuelson-Swamy Theory of Index Numbers to India’s GDP calculation or RBI interests’ rates, media will scream anti party activity!”May modesty be damned!March 25, 2020It is a well written book with a strong supporting data (if you rely on data) in a readable
language. toyota auris hybrid 2020 owners manual Dr. Swami tries to enlighten us with Indian background of historic and economic prosperity and the decline of it due to long colonization and post Independence socialist policies. The decline started with plundering India's wealth first by the Muslim invaders and then by the Britishers. He debunked
the myth of the prosperity of India during the Muslim period with authentic supporting data. But he agrees that the decline takes a nosedive during the British period. Because of the Zaminder system India's agriculture effected severely during this time. But after independence, adaptation of Soviet style socialist system of Five year plan put an end to
any hope for a better reform. He argues that instead of investing in the heavy industry on the cost of agriculture was a blunder, which led to a severe of grain shortage during 1965. 6891155142.pdf Backing up with data, he also argues that a soviet style economy is unsustainable and creates impediment of long time growth and prosperity of a
country. He also narrated 'the 1990 economic reform' anecdotes that changes India's politics, economics, in turn, accrues her importance in global politics. robert kaplan balanced scorecard pdf He claimed under Narshimha Rao, he himself made the draft of economic reform during this period. But he said that was incomplete and more things still
need to do. Further, he gave different suggestions for fighting with the current economic slowdown. He criticized his own party in case of Demonetization and GST implementation. He claimed that Indian economy is on the tailspin and certain measures need to be taken to save Indian economy from verge of collapse. ansul autopulse 542r manual
Though he is very much optimistic and said during any type of crises, India did really well in past e.g., Green revolution (though he accedes that it was a good step but not a revolution) and economic opening up during 90's on the verge of collapse. He also suggested some awesome ideas that India government should take up seriously to make our
country prosperous again. Here are some:1. Building a great canal system from Ganga to Krishna, Kaveri, from Bhramaputra to Mahandhi, Yamuna, Indus etc.2. By building great dams3. By desalination alike to the Israelis to supply fresh water for irrigation.4. Abolishing income tax.5. Opening up other sectors just like we did with IT sector and we
did that right etc.
Furthermore, he suggested a 'Swadeshi Plan' our economy should adopt. computer hardware and software pdf

It is alike to free market economy but mixed with our cultural values just like we had in ancient India. Yes, it is true that unlike other religion Indian culture had accepted 'Artha' (wealth) an inseparable part of our culture.

He introduced brief comparison among the Adam Smith's Market economy, Karl Marx's socialist economy and his reinvented 'Market Economy'. Basically, Adam Smith's theory was that everyone does whatever benefits him to increase his wealth (that's the animal spirit) while the market itself is governed by an invisible hand (so, no worries of chaos)
provided the state control is minimal on markets (except for the Pure Public Good). Marx's theory, on the other hand, was that this turns man into a rapacious animal so instead of individual the market should be controlled by the state. But, Dr. Swami by reinventing our Indian ethos suggested that this animal spirit would not turn us literal animals if
we include our Indian cultural values in the system. This way it could resolve the puzzle.I have to write here my own understanding of this theory that Dr. Swamy try to inculcate. Let us see the examples of Europe and America. Even though both of the counties (or rather unions) adopted Market economy, the USA adopted the extreme of capitalism
than Europe. In America one has to always involve in chicken fight to get what he want, to achieve his dreams. The country does not offer a free health care, free of charge education or any other very social scheme that Europe offers. Even if one compares the wages and working hours or the labor law, Europe is always more compassionate towards
workers and commoners than America. Now why is that? I believe because America does not have a long history and no historical culture and as the country was founded by the virtue of fulfilling merely American dreams, the principles that emerge only resides with money and power. 53229894561.pdf Though this principle helps to fulfill the USA to
become world's wealthiest and most powerful nation in the planet, it does not teach a cultural value. On the other hand Europe has long history of Greek, Roman, French, British and Russian renaissance. Many great minds emerged over time and successfully inculcate different philosophical values into commoners. Hence, my understanding is that by
freeing up our economy mixing with our cultural ethos without imitating the US culture and economy blindly, we can build up our nation in a formidable form.
And hence let's RESET.April 6, 2020Good narrative on the past and present Indian economy, with some concrete steps chalked out for improving it too. Wonder if Modi and Sitharaman have even read it or given any thought to it. In the appendix it gets a bit drowned in Hinduism and ideologies of Deendayal & Golwalkar. While they may have made
some decent points, the current version of RSS is far far away from it!November 30, 2019Introduction: There are few books that attempt to talk about Indian Economics and establish its links with the decisions made during the pre and post-independence era.
Subramanian Swamy doesn’t shy away from recounting numerous key incidents during the course of history that had a long lasting impact on the Indian psyche and economic decision making. The following, I thought, are some of the key highlights of the book 1. Comparison between pre and post-independence India with China in aspects such as Per
capita Income, Acreage, cop yields, irrigation,literacy etc using data to highlights similarity and differences is remarkable.Few have ever tried to juxtapose the two Asian giants together in a manner done by Swamy2. Dismantling the so called Nehruvian Economic Model (Inspired by the Soviet Model of Rapid Industrialization: Proposed by PC
Mahalanobis and originally create by Feldman).Most of the problems India has today are a direct consequences of the 5 year Economic Planning called Command Economy. State beliefs about squeezing the Agriculture to produce capital goods spelled doom on the Economy.The only good that came out of the Planning was that we got surplus in
Agriculture(The so called Green Revolution the plan for which was proposed by Late Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri)3. Considering 1980-1990 as the worst time for India as it produced a precarious situation for us. It led to balance of payment crisis, depleted most of the foreign reserves (only few weeks were left before day 0), charred image in
International Market of an uncompetitive economy and so on. Provided both Indira and Rajiv got majority in Parliament, it speaks volume about how erroneous the Soviet Planning model was4. Post 1991 period where Liberalisation freed up avenues of growth for India. Structural changes in the policies related to cancellation of License Raj, easing up
of State Control, Public Private partnership to name of few. All this accelerated growth and put India back on track. The main aim was to strengthen agriculture (which absorbs most of the workforce) and remove poverty altogether.For this to happen, it was proposed that the Indian economy grow at around 10% for the decade (1990-2000)5.
mebebo.pdf The reforms, though revolutionary, had made the political parties wary of the fact that it was against the popular sentiments. From the end of 90's till about early 2000's each government from Rao's to Atalji made conscious efforts to dilute the reforms. All the momentum that was gathered during Rao's term eventually fizzled out6. Since
the independence, India has always relied on Agriculture to push growth and absorb its surplus workforce. On the contrary,with each successive Plan, resource allocation to agriculture was reduced despite it being the top contributor to GDP. The resources were diverted to the Public sector which generated very little profit. The only thing that kept
the Indian economy on its feed during the 80's and 90's is the Service Sector. It was second to only agriculture in contribution to GDP7. Modi Years: Lessons learnt and Future Vision:The current economic situation is challenging on two fronts: Weak Private consumption and hurtling investment rate.All this started by 2014 but deteriorated during the
demonetization and GST phases. Most impacted were the MSME and agriculture sectors.Lack of economic know how in the cabinet ministers mean a lot of swadeshi brandishing without concrete actions. The goals and the means to accomplish the 5 trillion economy were conspicuous by their absence from the recent Budget speech made by the
Finance minister. The turnaround can still be achieved if we give enough incentives to increase household savings (increasing the fixed deposit rates) and ease out liquidity to the MSME.
Also it is very important to sustain a GDP growth rate of 10% for the next decade if India has to eliminate poverty and unemployment and become a developed countryOctober 31, 2019Enthralling perspectives by Dr. swamyAn economist is an observer of cause and effect. Dr. Swamy's starture and explanation puts this book as a blueprint that Indian
Economy must follow. He provides insightful and elaborative explaination including relevant statistical comparisons and scans through his mathematical prowess to judge the temperature of the soaring fever of economics for india.I would say that this reset book is an extension of two of the works of Prof. R Vaidyanathan - india uninc and cast as
social capital.His explanation of focus on agriculture and savings by uplifting the unorganised sector and leveraging technology to obliterate the law of diminishing returns is just enthralling.Apart from that the transition of India from a Soviet model to a free economy is also appreciable in which Dr. Swamy had a pivotal role to play.I am no student of
economics but I am a student of literature and mathematics. What Dr. Swamy says makes sense.
Why innovation in agriculture is needed coupled with proper urban planning and incentives on agriculture is well understood when one understands the concept of ICOR and per capita gains.
(Details beautifully elaborated in the book)Apart from that the introduction of Deendayal Upadhyaya's ideology of human development and explanation of anomalies in socialism, communism and capitalism is beautifully captured to showcase the growth in economy in true terms.A must read for people with open mind and who don't have a prejudice
towards the ideas of this man.Wishing him best health and best wishes to his ideas as a renowned economist and thinker.March 3, 2020Nice book to enhance the Macro economic history of India. It talks about pre-independence era, post independence era, post liberalization era and the new modi era. People having interest in history, macro
economics and political science, should read this bookJanuary 13, 2020Being an amateur, gives a good understanding of economics! I just like the shear simplification of the ideas.The author speak about why India has not been able to achieve real potential growth since it's independence, about the socialism and why it is not for the good of the people
of the country. Shows the two sides of capitalism, explains why there are recessions in a capitalist society.
The author feels the right way to economics is the concept of "Integral Humanism".The books start with the British, moves to the Nehru era, moves to the 1990 shift (India at the verge of bankruptcy) and ends with the Modi Era. The author then moves on and says what is need to "RESET" India's growth and gives a brief Idea about how this can be
done.The Final part cover "Integral Humanism", where he talks about why sustainable economics is good for the nation. Integral Humanism is about putting people and their well being first instead of only concentration on the accumulation of wealth. There is a lot of relation placed in Hinduism when this concept is explained.Giving it a four star as
there is lot of repetition. September 16, 2019RESET is economic history and prescription I have previously come across Angus Madison's work and what was the prevalent economic status from 1200-1700 CE.. This is an narrative and economic history with facts .. first chapter was heart wrenching to read chapters 2-5 explores missed opportunities
and presents why the planned command economy model failed. Chapter 6 delves on current govt under Modi and it's failure to understand the enormity and missteps that occurred from 2015 till date and finally Dr.Swamy goes on to present solutions. Appendix should be a separate subject area and needs several volumes to expand on the Integral
Humanism as the best option for Bharat rather than Communism, Socialism or Capitalism. Anyone interested in society and economy should consider reading this book. October 31, 2019A good read with a lot of facts and figures.
Many a times the books gets into nuances of economy: one may have to try to derive an holistic understanding due to lack of subject matter knowledge.
I chose to read this because of the author's candor to not mince and hide. He is unquestionably a true patriot, his efforts have worked in the past (explanation extensively part of the book) which he leverages to theorize a plan of action to ensure we get to world number 2. Seems possible "but only if we try!"December 19, 2019What I liked 1) lot data
2) how as a country we progressedSwamy only takes from a historical perspective on where we are since 1950 and the land mark changes that happened in 1991 that catapulted India towards knowledge economy and the subsequent growth.But the prescription part of next steps from here are very vague . He lays down the next steps more as a
theory without any details that we have seen in the book. I was looking for clues how the 45% of Agri employment and contributes to 17% of the GDP can be jump started to hyper growth and couldn't find any January 13, 2020Excellent book on Indian economics. It explains how a decentralized market economy would work much better in IN as
compared to a centralized socialist economy (which India has today). The book covers IN economy from 1870 to 2019 and the author talks in details about his economic reform in 1990-1997 when he was cabinet minster under PV Narsimha Rao. Swamy also talks about current Indian economy under Modi and why the GDP in IN is on a decline for last
4 years and the way to come out of it. I hope someone from the government gives this a read.February 8, 2020An EyeopenerMuch needed narrative of India for its Youth to decide and correct the wind in the favour of this country. How power in wrong hands can spoil the progress is very well presented with rational and logic.
February 20, 2020Swamy the economist is worth reading. savoir faire oven sfd900 manual
The current government in India has lost a huge opportunity by not having him involved. The only real quality economist in the party today, and like all intellectuals - ignored by the BJP. The only one within who will take on the gov too.May 14, 2023With detailed statistics & a deep understanding of history, he does propose some radical ideas to reset
the Indian economy. Good read.October 17, 2019The good: I think the book gives a good perspective about the recent economic history and why India's economic policies remain socialist despite whatever market reforms were done since 1991. Actually, to some extent, it gives a good angle to how the reforms were just political compulsions and
actually the core mindset of the country's political base + hinterland remains quite leftist in nature. The bad: Economic history of pre-independence is a bit overly emphasized by consuming ~40% of the book in that discussion. While I agree that the British rule killed off the agri sector, led to India skipping Industrial Revolution etc, i think for that
purpose of this book, it could have been more succinct.
Rather, explaining how INR=50 would be sustainable and devote that one chapter plus one more, would have been more worthwhile discussion. The Ugly: Only a few pages of examples devoted to what needs to be done. best in class margaret talbot answer key I think many good scholars can identify WHY the economy is in bad shape. I was looking
forward to several insightful out-of-box thinking that Mr. Swamy is known for, to discuss in this book.
Didn't see that. tweeting with god pdf I felt that without devoting much time for that discussion, whatever little points he gave, makes them look incredulous, superficial, not well thought of and hence shallow. I hate to say this, but that's how I felt. Overall, I would give this book 3/5 and hope for a Reset 2.0 with more time devoted to solutions and
their reasoning.January 26, 2020Course correction India desperately needsIncisive fact based analysis identifying root cause for India's economic woes is absolutely brilliant. The clear cut steps and actions for course correction is nothing short of stupendous. The need to act NOW brings into focus the accelerating changes happening on the ground
and how every passing day makes the task more daunting. Hope for our Nation's sake better sense prevails and the Nation's RESET is initiated without any further delay.The idealogical underpinning of Pandit Deedayji's Integral Humanism as spelt out in the appendix is another unmissable gem!November 28, 2020I found this book to be a very
interesting read. In his book, Mr. Swamy outlines the economic history of India, from the colonial period of imperialistic looting to the decades after independence of socialist policies to the current tattered state of the Indian economy. In the first part he talks about how destructive the colonial policies have been, how the wealth of our nation was
used to fund the aspirations and greed of an Imperial power. He brings into perspective how the farmers and agriculture as a whole was brought to its knees.In the second part which is the first six decades of our independence, he shows his distaste for the socialist policies and License Raj of India. Using multiple graphs and tables he shows how the
years of development had been wasted away, and it was not until the reforms of 1991 that India started to hop on the train of economic growth. There is a lot of comparison between the economic states of China and India in the book, where it talks about how implemented policies put both nations in different paths.It's the third part that took me by
surprise. Mr. Swamy goes all out while discussing the blunder that was demonetisation. He is very critical of the current government and their neglect in implementing structural reforms.
Though the book also has it parts where he puffs about his contribution in implementing the reforms of 1991, it still makes for a refreshing read.In the end he outlines immediate steps to reset the clock and set India on a path to success. Some of his steps seem to make a lot of sense, some are radical and some just feel like wishful thinking. But I
would be a fool if I don't acknowledge that Mr. Swamy has taken the bull by its horns when he talks about the economy and how he brings an economist's views on the current state.August 21, 2020As someone who is a great admirer of Dr Swamy and his maverick ideas, I picked up the book with a lot of enthusiasm. It is a good read with a lot of
charts and data and gives a backdrop of India's economic history. It tells us what worked for us and what didn't in the economy. However, the book is very academic in nature and could have been more interesting for the reader.Thus, despite the rich content, it does not keep the reader captivated. The author is someone who doesn't like sugarcoating
and is definitely not a people pleaser, but he could have been a bit lax with his readers :)Overall- 3/5September 1, 2020Explains the macroeconomic imbalances in India correlating to historical reasons. A complete accounts statement with respect to Indian growth in various sectors are presented. dazuzabexilibasediz.pdf The book proposes several
fascinating insights comparing indian growth rate vis-a-vis chinese pre and post independence. compress pdf file program One significant learning that I thank to attribute to this book is Incremental Capital-Output Ratio - ICOR. I wish the present day policy makers take an iota of knowledge from this book.
Few suggestions made by the author towards the end of the book to reign high growth rates in GDP can also be looked into. Overall this is an interesting read to learn and understand the history of India's GDP growth since independence and future action plan that policy makers can look forward to, if they are sincere to advance our GDP
growth..!!February 5, 2022The broad focus of the renowned academic, economist, and politician Dr. Subramanian Swami’s policy prescription for India’s economic growth and emerging economic power in the world by overtaking China and the USA by 2050. Dr. Swamy has proposed three commands in order to achieve the goal, firstly, reform mass
movement development with local experiences, secondly, sectoral development and natural resources modernization through R&D across the states and regions through pathbreaking innovation by robust financial and human resource development to achieve broad-based economic growth, and finally, establish efficient governance which can uphold
challenges and risk-taking gust for the growth while minimizing the gap between the public and private sectors.
Who is Aryan, Dravidian, and Brahmin?So far, my findings from the various sources could define it as follows. Aryan means is gentlemen or a disciplined person, Dravidian means the people reside or settled in the territory where the three oceans meet together (in Sanskrit, “Ithree” means numeric number three (3), V(i),(e) means ocean) are the Bay
of Bengal, Indian Ocean, and Arabian sea, Brahmin means a scholar or erudite with civilized. But it has been practiced wrongly against the social norms and values imprudently meant it for the ethnic and cast division for the political benefits even in the post-colonial era.The mind should be Reset:According to the author, the colonial imperialism and
the local zamindaris are exploited the nation wealth not only in India but Sri Lanka also, the raw materials are taken to England from the colonized countries and reexported back to the same colonial countries as finishing goods for a high price, during the colonial era India and Sri Lanka a major market consumer for the Victorian government. The
local zamindars collect tax revenues from the locals like farmers and paid fixed amounts to the British government and they prospered by looting the local laborers, also the zamindars grabbed lands from the farmers and domesticated them only for meals without perks or wages.The author compares and contrasts the growth between China and India
the major two demographic countries in the world. The railway project has played a vital role in the industrial revolution. Yet the author argues that this iron belt revolution has not shown significant growth in the economy, however, western technology reached the literate section of India, further the author says that the Chinese emperor stated it’s
infeasible, unprofitable, and harmful and the cultural and introvert psychology, but there was blockage for India’s development it’s imperialism. Tata became a major iron exporter in 1923, Suez Canal water grid helped for trade, but cash crop reaches the British hand. According to the facts and figures of the author China was ahead of India in per
capita output terms in agriculture, irrigation, and semi-industries but in the 1950s India was ahead of China in many industries especially graduates from technological subjects.I propose the author’s focus on socialism is a failure model because of incentivization and false swadeshi concept, take the picture of Sri Lanka before and after 1977, then the
government abolished the socialist concept and implemented the market economic model and succeeded in the multi-dimension in the political arena, foreign investment, industrial sectors, new job creations, modern technology introduction, education and health sector reformed, private and corporate sectors formation are the major changes. Large
governments fully depend on heavy taxation that leads to corruption, tax relaxation and incentivization are wise methods for a country’s dramatic growth to maintain the fiscal balance.
The idea is the king:The author stresses the five pillars of transformation indicating abolish erroneous, modernize agriculture, quality and cost-conscious, resource allocation, and fiscal reforms and here the author statistically presented India’s production of food products ranking in the world in table 4 mentioned items are between 1- 6. As a reader, I
believe the above five-pillar concept reasonably suits Sri Lanka’s structural reformation with marginal changes. The fascinating story the author shares for the readers, the IMF condition free loan negotiation with the USA during his ministerial tenure embarking his skills. The decline of the GDP growth from the first quarter of 2016 is 9.0% to the
first quarter of 2020 is 5.8% showing a sharp fall in graph 1.In my conclusion, out of my many readings, this book has assorted me a different kind of insight, figures in the table and the graphs incited me more than texts. The effort of Dr. Swamy gathering data from various sources and the output pattern after the analysis is invaluable. A major
economic reformation is inevitable, is the message the author insists on in his writing.Displaying 1 - 30 of 55 reviewsGet help and learn more about the design. Sri Subramanya Kavacham , , | |
