Indian Economy in the New Millennium

About The Book

This Volume is the outcome of the deliberations of a National Seminar on "Indian Economy in the New Millennium" organized by the Department of Economics, University of Mumbai, on 24th – 25th March 2000 under the auspices of the Centre of Advanced Study (CAS), Department of Economics. The theme was felt to be a particularly appropriate one in the context of our almost decade long experience with liberalization, privatization, and globalization and, as emphasized by Professor Rath in his inaugural address (see Paper 1), the seminar represented a rare occasion – since the intense discussions (between Professors Brahmananda, Mahalanobis, Vakil et al) which characterized the formulation of the Second Five–Year Plan in the mid 1950s – when Indian economists gave themselves the opportunity of reviewing the economic progress of the country as well as trying to understand and learn from the vicissitudes in the career of a strategy.
Given the wide-ranging expertise and calibre of the participants at the seminar, a plurality of views was only to be expected. Nevertheless, it is interesting to note that a common thread did weave itself through a majority of the papers what with most of them addressing themselves, in one way or another, to some aspects of the liberalization process with topics covering themes in both development economics (with issues ranging from the political economy of reforms to the computation of economic flexibility and from rural credit systems to the new tertiary revolution) as well as macroeconomics (with issues ranging from foreign direct investment to the construction of a leading indicator of inflation and from India`s public finances to the relationship between deficits and debt).
