The book, through rigorous research, provides a captivating account of India’s rise from a poor agricultural economy to one of the world’s largest thriving economies. It explores hitherto untouched issues like the role of women in India’s economic development, India’s achievements in fields such as space, games, outsourcing and, more importantly, the financialization of India’s economy measured through stock market investments and the stupendous returns delivered by them in the last 30 years or so.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In defiance of the stereotypes trotted out by yesterday's pundits, modern India's rise is both unusual and unexpected. It is unusual because some of the sharpest economic improvements are being observed in those sections of Indian society which were thought to be the most disadvantaged: women, oppressed castes and rural India. It is unexpected because of the widespread view. Until a couple of years ago, India's democratic construct was inferior to China's single-party state. In Behold the Leviathan: The Unusual Rise of Modern India, Saurabh Mukherjea and Nandita Rajhansa provide a gripping picture of how 1.5 billion Indians are combining to spectacular effect to create a range of social and economic outcomes which have no precedent in any emerging economy. For example, India now has as many chess grandmasters as the United States, and the expertise of its scientists has guided India's space modules to the dark side of the moon, a feat no other country has achieved.
