Surjit S Bhalla (60 results)

Hardback. Condition: Good. The emerging world was poor and illiterate just forty years ago. Today, over 70 per cent of the world's middle class resides in the erstwhile poor countries; world income inequality is down to levels last observed in 1870; and there has been a large reduction in absolute poverty. What accounts for such rapid development and catch-up? Distinguished economist Surjit S. Bhalla's The New Wealth of Nations offers a short answer--the spread of education.     The very large increase in college graduates in the non-Western world, the growing educational achievements of women, and the radical change in gender roles is critical to the understanding of current-day mega-trends. Indeed, this unprecedented development--which creates competition globally and lowers employment costs--is also why world inflation has been low, and declining, for nearly twenty years.     Here is a book that breaks new ground. Besides identifying the fallacies in anti-globalization rhetoric--voiced by Brexit and Trump supporters--it points out a major lacuna in current attempts to measure wealth inequality. Through a series of compelling arguments, anecdotes, studies, calculations, tables, and charts, Bhalla emphatically reminds us that education is the new wealth, and is, in fact, currently of a greater magnitude than financial wealth, and much more equally distributed.     Even while acknowledging the giant strides made by the developing world, The New Wealth of Nations investigates the downsides to the explosion of education and technology, and why countries, rich and emerging, will have to explore options like basic income and negative income tax, so that a new welfare order, appropriate for the changed--and changing--21st century can emerge. * Surjit S. Bhalla has been recently appointed as a member of PM Modi's Economic Advisory Council, and his new work is a ground-breaking achievement that argues for a new welfare order across nations which is better suited for the constantly transforming time we live in. * Through a series of compelling arguments, anecdotes, studies, calculations, tables, and charts, noted economist Surjit S. Bhalla establishes in his latest book that education is the new wealth of nations. * This book offers insights into the definitions of the poor, the middle class, and the rich, while relating each of these to advances in schooling attainment. It explores the economic reasons behind the political success of globalization in the Western world till the early 2000s, and now its fall from grace in these same countries as notably evidenced by Brexit and the rise of Donald Trump.  * Releasing for authors UK visit in February 2018.…

Comments on the review by the Discussants. References. This book presents evidence on the determinants of economic growth in India. There are two major puzzles about the Indian economy first why was there so little acceleration in GDP growth despite wide ranging economic reforms introduced in the two year period 1991 to 1993. Second what has caused the acceleration in economic growth since 2003. In addition the book provides evidence to document that savings investments and GDP growth in India reveal unambiguous signs of a structural break and hence rejects the hypothesis that 8 per cent plus GDP growth in India is unsustainable. 120 pp. …

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. India has transformed and much has happened since the first Lok Sabha elections in 195152. Social media, AI and other technologies make it easy to spin narratives and evade accountability, and to glibly manufacture content, data and analysis. These threaten the development of a responsible civil society. But then what really matters to voters? Times may have changed, but the substantive basis on which people vote their perception of leadership and the improvement in their well-being remains constant. Economist Surjit S. This book examines historical voting patterns and reveals how these correlate to changes in income, employment, welfare schemes, gender equality and much else. It looks at future conundrums like delimitation. It considers how voter attitudes have changed. This deep dive into data comes up with some counter-intuitive conclusions. Whichever way the 2024 elections go, the reader will gain a better understanding of the hows and whys of voter choices. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
