Interrogating Inclusive Growth: Poverty and Inequality in India by K.P. Kannan (

Description: Interrogating Inclusive Growth by K.P. Kannan This volume critiques the much-touted claim that market-friendly economic reform policies in India will trickle down to the poor and help reduce poverty and deprivation. The author provides an exclusive and empirical perspective in linking employment, poverty and inequality, with regard to the impact of the high-growth performance of the Indian economy since the early 1990s. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The high growth performance of the Indian economy since the launch of economic reforms in the early 1990s has been much lauded. But how much of this growth has made its way to the poor? In a radical assessment of inclusive growth, this book probes the impact of neo-liberal policies on employment, poverty and inequality. It critiques the claim that market-friendly economic reform policies trickle down to the poor and reduce poverty and deprivation. The author uses exhaustive data — from the formal and informal sectors — to create a profile of the aam aadmi. He advocates the need for a broad-based growth and development strategy that alone will address the many-sided social and economic inequalities in India.The volume will be useful to scholars and students of economics, development studies, labour studies, and sociology.
