Generation of decent livelihood opportunities ought to be
among the most important objectives on any meaningful
agenda of economic development. During the first four
decades after Independence, India-s achievements with
respect to the problems of poverty, unemployment and
occupational structural transformation were modest at
best. Since the early 1990s, during the era of neo-
liberal reforms, while economic growth has remained
upbeat, the wellbeing of the masses has shown even
greater stress. An indispensable entry point to the
subject of labour in India, this book locates the debate
within the trajectory of economic development since
India-s independence.

In a book that appeals to the lay reader and the finance
specialist alike, Reddy gives an account of the debate
and thinking behind some landmark events, and some
remarkable initiatives of his own, whose benefits reached
the man on the street. This book provides a ringside view
of the license permit raj, drought, bonded labour,
draconian forex controls, the balance of payments crisis,
liberalisation, high finance, and the emergence of India
as a key player in the global economy. As governor of the
RBI from 2003 to 2008 the author presided over a period
of high growth, low inflation, a stable rupee and ample
foreign exchange reserves - a far cry from the 1991
crisis he lived through and describes in vivid detail,
when the country had to mortgage its gold to meet its
debt obligations.

382.9 BHA 145559
When the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)
metamorphosed into the World Trade Organization (WTO) in
1994, it seemed that the third pillar of the
international economic superstructure was finally in
place. And yet with the failure of member countries to
close the Doha Round of trade negotiations and the
emergence of bilateral and plurilateral preferential
trade arrangements (PTAs) such as the Trans-Pacific
Partnership (TPP), the future of the multilateral WTO
seems uncertain. In this volume, leading economists
examine issues in trade policy that have arisen during
this shift. They discuss such topics as the effect of
trade on poverty and inequality, PTAs and litigation
between trading partners, the WTO Trade Facilitation
Agreement, and the relationship of food security and
trade liberalization. They also offer regional
perspectives on the TPP and trans-Atlantic free trade.

Bruce Cable owns a popular bookstore in the sleepy resort
town of Santa Rosa on Camino Island in Florida. He makes
his real money, though, as a prominent dealer in rare
books. Very few people know that he occasionally dabbles
in the black market of stolen books and manuscripts.
Mercer Mann is a young novelist with a severe case of
writer-s block who has recently been laid off from her
teaching position. She is approached by an elegant,
mysterious woman working for an even more mysterious
company. A generous offer of money convinces Mercer to go
undercover and infiltrate Bruce Cable-s circle of
literary friends, ideally getting close enough to him to
learn his secrets. But eventually Mercer learns far too
much.
