Comprehensive coverage of the contemporary Indian economy:
In the last five years, much has changed both in India and the world economy— the great global recession, arguably the most traumatic global downturn since the Great Depression of 1930s; the sub-prime crisis, bringing to the fore concerns about financial markets and how to regulate them; and the revival of G-20, in which India has found itself taking an active role. The New OCEI showcases and contextualizes these events and the accompanying policy changes. With a total of 232 entries, more than 80 substantially revised and updated entries, and 24 new entries on issues of current and ongoing relevance, the New OCEI focuses on Indias role as a global player in the highly volatile financial scenario and also presents critical ideas on making the fruits of development accessible to the common man.
