Economic reform and growth : differing patterns and institutions
Agriculture : still the most crowded sector
Infrastructure : the dazzling difference
High saving, low financial intermediation
The pattern of burgeoning capitalism
Poverty and inequality : how is the growth shared?
The social sector : the relevance of the socialist legacy
Environment : the alarming signs
Looking to the future : through the lens of political economy  a"The recent economic rise of China and India has attracted a great deal of attention - and justifiably so. Together, the two countries account for one-fifth of the global economy and are projected to represent a full third of the world's income by 2025. Yet, many of the views regarding China and India's market reforms and high growth have been tendentious, exaggerated, or oversimplified. Awakening Giants, Feet of Clay scrutinizes the phenomenal rise of both nations, and demolishes the myths that have accumulated around the economic achievements of these two giants in the last quarter century." "Exploring the challenges that both countries must overcome to become true leaders in the international economy, Pranab Bardhan looks beyond short-run macroeconomic issues to examine and compare China and India's major policy changes, political and economic structures, and current general performance." "Bardhan investigates the two countries' economic reforms, each nation's pattern and composition of growth, and the problems afflicting their agricultural, industrial, intrastructural, and financial sectors. He considers how these factors affect China and India's poverty, inequality, and environment, how political factors shape each country's pattern of burgeoning capitalism, and how significant poverty reduction in both countries is mainly due to domestic factors - not global integration, as most would believe. He shows how authoritarianism has distorted Chinese development while democratic governance in India has been marred by severe accountability failures."--Jacket 0aChinaxEconomic policyy2000- 4aChinaxPolítica económicay2000- 0aIndiaxEconomic policyy1991- 4aIndia xPolítica económicay1991-  0aChinaxEconomic conditionsy2000- 4aChinaxCondiciones económicas 0aIndiaxEconomic conditionsy1991- 4aIndiaxCondiciones económicas 0aChinaxSocial conditionsy2000- 4aChinaxCondiciones socialesySiglo XX 0aIndiaxSocial conditionsy20th century. 4aIndiaxCondiciones socialesySiglo XX
