Book Summary
VISHWA ITIHAS KI EK JHALAK is a clear-eyed, engaging look at how economic policy is made in one of the world’s largest democracies. This non-fiction work blends history, theory, and practice, drawing on Kaushik Basu’s two-and-a-half years as Chief Economic Advisor to the Government of India under Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Written for curious readers, students of economics, policymakers, and anyone interested in how ideas become policy, the book adopts an insightful, hopeful, and thoughtful tone that invites you to understand the forces shaping India’s economy.
Inside VISHWA ITIHAS KI EK JHALAK, Basu moves from macro theories to the practicalities of policy design—from growth and inequality to globalization and sovereignty. The book reads as both memoir and policymaking playbook, weaving personal experiences—including memorable moments like a dinner with President Obama—together with clear, accessible explanations of how policy is crafted within India’s political and administrative system. It blends storytelling with real-world case studies, such as grain auctions and ensuring access to basic food, presented at a pace that makes complex ideas approachable for non-specialists while offering fresh insights for experts.
Reading VISHWA ITIHAS KI EK JHALAK offers more than an insider’s view of Indian policymaking. It equips readers with a nuanced lens on how economies and politics intersect, leaving you informed, curious, and inspired to think critically about public life. The lasting value is a practical perspective on policy that stays with you long after the final page.
