520			_aIndia has taken giant strides in the field of economic development since its independence in 1947. In spite of this, most of its population remains mired in poverty. This book helps the reader to understand why. The authors provide a conceptual framework for understanding the process of economic development in a labour-abundant country, and the framework is specifically applied to the case of India. No formal training in economics on the part of the reader is assumed; the framework is built up from first principles, and essential concepts are introduced from scratch. This book will be very useful to all those who wish to understand the workings of the Indian economy. Students and teachers of undergraduate courses in Economics will find it invaluable.
