Description

An Uncertain Glory: India and Its Contradictions by Jean Drèze and Amartya Sen

Two leading economists argue that India's rapid economic growth has not translated into improved living conditions for its people. Despite a democratic system and steady growth, social and physical services remain inadequate, from education to healthcare and basic infrastructure.

The authors contend that addressing these failures requires significant policy change and a clearer public understanding of the extent of deprivation in the country. This book presents a passionate and considered argument for a greater understanding of inequalities in India and the need for sustainable growth.
