A World In Flux: India�S Economic Priorities Essays In Honour Of Shankar Acharya

A. K. Bhattacharya, Amita Batra . Rupa Publications India . English

Few economists have had as profound an impact on India�s economic policymaking as Shankar Acharya. A key architect of economic reforms, Acharya�s influence spans decades�from shaping the long-term fiscal policy to guiding macroeconomic strategies as chief economic advisor under multiple governments. His insights have played a crucial role in steering India through major economic transitions. A Festschrift in honour of Shankar Acharya was long overdue. <i>A World in Flux: India�s Economic Priorities</i> aims to fill this gap.<br><br> This Festschrift brings together essays that examine the evolving global economic landscape and India�s policy imperatives. Divided into two parts�global dynamics and the Indian context�the volume explores critical issues such as global trade shifts, climate change, digital transformation, urbanization, and the future of India�s labour market, among others. <br><br> Offering deep analysis and actionable insights, this book is an essential resource for policymakers, economists, and anyone interested in India�s economic trajectory.
