With the marshalling of large amounts of data in an array of tables, graphs, charts, and boxes explaining key concepts and special topics, the book is informative, engaging, visually appealing and facilitates better understanding of the evolving complexities of the Indian economy along with the potential and limits of economic policy in the country.
