"This is the second volume in the 'Studies in Indian Economic Policies' series, which examines India's 1991 economic reforms. Its main focus is on how the 1991 economic reforms have affected India's industrial structure to as recently as 2009. As was the first volume, this one too is highly analytical. In essence, it gives additional empirical testimony to the mostly positive results of the 1991 reforms that included privatizing, delicensing, encouraging foreign investments, liberalizing international trade, and reforming the private sector. Some articles discuss remaining impediments to continued inclusive growth and prosperity. The index helps greatly with numerous acronyms. Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through research collections." --CHOICE

"Bhagwati and Panagariya have compiled a selection of academic and policy papers, with each chapter addressing a different theme related to the broad topic of economic and social transformation in the postreform era. This would be valuable reading for researchers and policy practitioners interested in the Indian economy in particular, and economic reforms in general... The book provides an easily accessible summary of a brand range of changes that took place in the postreform era... [and] it raises the important question of why India experienced limited economic transformation toward modern industry." --Journal of Economic Literature

"... the chapters provide an accessible and yet rigorous summary of a complex set of policy issues undertaken in India since 1991." --Journal of Regional Science
