http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/037541164X/104-8496214-3025527?v=glance > From Library Journal In 1991, four decades of Nehruvian socialism > fell before the economic reforms of Indian Prime Minister Narasimha > Rao. In the subsequent decade of India's deregulation, the national > debt has decreased, the middle class has doubled in size, inflation > has declined, and the restraints of industrial licensing have been > abolished. Das, a former CEO of Proctor & Gamble and presently a > business consultant and journalist, exudes an evangelical zeal for > India's entry into the world economy. Arguing that India never > experienced an industrial revolution, he asserts that because of its > conceptual nature, the information age his country is now embracing > is a superior fit with its caste system. Das also envisions India's > economic growth as paralleling that of China, Japan, Korea, and > Indonesia. Told with verve and excitement, Das's tale is loosely > organized around a chronology of his life. He eschews mention of > worker exploitation, environmental pollution, and new forms of > corruption, but his story is an exciting, hopeful account that can be > read by all with profit, as long as discretion is exercised.DJohn F. > Riddick, Central Michigan Univ.
