Kannan, K. P.

Interrogating inclusive growth : poverty and inequality in India / K. P. Kannan - New Delhi : Routledge, 2014 - xx, 310p. ; 22cm.

This book probes the impact of neo-liberal policies on employment, poverty and inequality. It critiques the claim that market-friendly economic reform policies 'trickle down' to the poor and reduce poverty and deprivation. The author uses exhaustive data - from the formal and informal sectors - to create a profile of the aam aadmi. He advocates the need for a broad-based growth and development strategy that alone will address the many-sided social and economic inequalities in India.
