In his career as one of India's leading journalists and entrepreneurs, Raghav Bahl has often faced this question, and many others, from bewildered visitors: * Why are Indian regulations so weak and confusing? * Why is your foreign investment policy so restrictive? * How come your hotels are world class, but the roads leading to them are so potholed? * Why don't you lower your voice when you make fun of your politicians? * Why do you control the price of oil and cable TV? Clearly there's a huge difference in how India and its arch-rival China work on the ground. China is spectacularly effective in building infrastructure and is now reinvesting almost half its GDP. Meanwhile, India is still a "promising" economy: more than half its GDP is consumed by its billion-plus people, yet India has some unique advantages: Half its population is under twenty-five, giving it a strong demographic edge; 350 million Indians understand English, making it the largest English-speaking country in the world; and it's the world's largest democracy. In the race to superpower status, who is more likely to win: China's hare or India's tortoise? Bahl argues that the winner might not be determined by who is investing more and growing faster today but by something more intangible: who has superior innovative skills and more entrepreneurial savvy. With insights into the two countries' histories, politics, economies and cultures, this well-written, fully documented, comprehensive account of the race to become the next global superpower is a must for anyone looking to understand China, India and the future of the world economy.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">India --</subfield><subfield code="x">Relations </subfield><subfield code="z">-- China. </subfield><subfield code="9">5410</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="942" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="2">ddc</subfield><subfield code="c">BK</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="952" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="0">0</subfield><subfield code="1">0</subfield><subfield code="2">udc</subfield><subfield code="4">0</subfield><subfield code="6">327510540BAH</subfield><subfield code="7">0</subfield><subfield code="9">31113</subfield><subfield code="a">CSSSC</subfield><subfield code="b">CSSSC</subfield><subfield code="d">2017-11-02</subfield><subfield code="l">0</subfield><subfield code="o">327(510:540)BAH</subfield><subfield code="p">G-5733</subfield><subfield code="r">2017-11-02 00:00:00</subfield><subfield code="w">2017-11-02</subfield><subfield code="y">BK</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="999" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="c">28220</subfield><subfield code="d">28220</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |
