Policymaker’s journal: from new delhi to washington D.C.

This journal is an absolute delight to read. Sharp, witty, full of insights into what policymaking is all about, it is Kaushik Basu at his best. His easy, informal style makes it interesting even when he is talking about serious stuff. Stuff that defines the destiny of nations. He makes it all sound so easy and uncomplicated.’

‘This engaging journal on policymaking provides its readers a ringside view of Basu’s experience in India during his years as the chief economic adviser for the Manmohan Singh government and deftly deals with the complexity India as nation poses while grappling with a economic policymaking, Peppered with personal anecdotes and self-deprecating humour, Basu’s book is a refreshing departure from memoirs which border on self-indulgence.’
