The Essays in this book reflect Professor K.N. Raj’s abiding interest in economic growth as a fundamental mechanical for lifting the poor and the disadvantaged. Raj was also concerned that the political bargaining process may end up undermining growth and not provide support to those who were excluded from access to economic opportunities. These essays, many of them classics and all published in the economic weekly and economic and political weekly, are drawn together in this volume both for their commentary on the last half century of economic development and for their contemporary relevance for understanding the political Economy of development in India and elsewhere.
