Behold the Leviathan: The Unusual Rise of Modern India - (Mukherjea Saurabh)(Pevná vazba)

In defiance of the stereotypes trotted out by yesterday''s pundits, modern India''s rise is both unusual and unexpected. It is unusual because some of the sharpest economic improvements are being observed in those sections of Indian society which were thought to be the most disadvantaged: women, oppressed castes and rural India. It is unexpected because of the widespread view. Until a couple of years ago, India''s democratic construct was inferior to China''s single-party state. In Behold the Leviathan: The Unusual Rise of Modern India, Saurabh Mukherjea and Nandita Rajhansa provide a gripping picture of how 1.5 billion Indians are combining to spectacular effect to create a range of social and economic outcomes which have no precedent in any emerging economy.
