The account is an analysis of the economic policies that we confront today in India . Inhuman brutality under the pretext of development is rampant in present day world . India , too is not an exception . Here social justice is trampled under-foot . The human face of the Nehruvian era is forced to slip into oblivion . The planning commission is dismantled and replaced by the NITI Aayog . De-monetisation and GST have pegged the last nails in the nation’s coffin . Obituary of welfare , thus, is in the offing . But who are to be blamed ? The text has argued that the political economy of the policies are mere continuation of the policies of the previous governments . Simple style of articulation coupled with extensive usage of primary data, charts, tablets, graphs and glossary has made the book thought provoking . Students of Economics, social activists will find the book interesting for its insight into the subject.
