"India is probably in the middle of the most reform-friendly phase in its historyopen to conceptions that can help transform the nation faster, put it on a stronger firmament to help it leap higher. This book, a collection of ideas, by one of India's foremost thinkers, marries his deep academic understanding with the rich practical experience; The penetrating macroeconomic analysis with the intricate microeconomic observations; And the vast knowledge of the governance ecosystem with the challenging requirements of the governed. Be it simplifying and reforming the legal structures and statutes, decentralisation to boost the quality of governance, upgrading the parameters of data collection for mapping administrative performance and improving its efficiency or promoting the cause of a better and streamlined railway system, the ideas captured in this book present a fresh and inspiring result-based approach to the pressing problems India faces today. Innovative, precise and practical, solutions offered in this book are a treasure trove, not just for India, but other developing countries of the world too, for both their constitutional arms as also the civil society."

Bibek Debroy wears many hats with ease: economist, writer, columnist, Sanskrit speaker, a professor...The Hindu Prof Bibek Debroy is a polymath. In India, there is perhaps no other economist who can be appointed as a professor in any good university in two distinctly different departments. As a professor, Bibek Debroy will adorn the Department of Economics and the Department of Classics of any leading university in the world. Vijay Kelkar
