Product Description
- Premium Quality: A Sixth of Humanity is a 760-page hardcover volume published by Books Kingdom, chronicling Independent India's development odyssey with scholarly depth and authority.
- Product Design: India's journey has been distinctively 'precocious' in comparative terms, opting for democracy before development and social change, and promoting high-skilled services before low-skilled manufacturing.
- User Experience: The country chose a globalization that favoured exports of talented people and short-changed the poor, while the socialist state became an inefficiently capitalist one before providing public goods of physical infrastructure and human capital.
- Versatile Occasion: The outcomes have been surprising, with the country achieving success in creating and sustaining democracy, albeit flawed, and maintaining a modicum of order.
- Ideal For: Authored by Devesh Kapur, Starr Foundation Professor of South Asia Studies at Johns Hopkins University, this title is ideal for general readers, college students, competitive exam aspirants, and library collections.
- Lifestyle Essential: A rigorous and thought-provoking work on the political economy of development, this hardcover edition with ISBN 9789369891092 is an essential addition to any serious reader's collection.
