Description: This book analyses the two dominant public-policy approaches in India--managerialism and neoliberalism--and argues that they have had a profoundly damaging impact. Drawing upon a substantial body of published work, the book shows how managerialist and free-market systems are fundamentally incoherent and destructive.
