This book lays bare many of the failures of Jawaharlal Nehru in the socio-economic sphere, including those arising out of his rejection of the decentralized Gandhian approach. It also deals with the continued deterioration of the economy during Indira Gandhi's regime the decline in savings and investment; the deceleration in industrial production and fall in the rate of growth; shortages and spiralling prices; growing unemployment and denigration of planners and their unceremonious dismissal.
