India’s economy has overtaken the United Kingdom’s to become the fifth-largest in the world, but it is still only one-fifth the size of China’s, and India’s economic growth is too slow to provide jobs for millions of its ambitious youth. Blocking India’s current path are intense global competition in low-skilled manufacturing, increasing protectionism and automation, and the country’s majoritarian streak in politics. In \u003ci\u003eBreaking the Mold\u003c\/i\u003e, Raghuram Rajan and Rohit Lamba show why and how India needs to blaze a new path if it’s to succeed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndia diverged long ago from the standard development model, the one followed by China—from agriculture to low-skilled manufacturing, then high-skilled manufacturing and, finally, services—by leapfrogging intermediate steps. India must not turn back now. Rajan and Lamba explain how India can accelerate growth by prioritizing human capital, expanding opportunities in high-skilled services, encouraging entrepreneurship, and strengthening rather than weakening its democratic traditions. It can chart a path based on ideas and creativity even at its early stage of development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilled with vivid examples and written with incisive candor, \u003ci\u003eBreaking the Mold \u003c\/i\u003eshows how India can break free of the stumbling blocks of the past and embrace the enormous possibilities of the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57396563116406,"sku":"9780691263649","price":17.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_40564701_d41f39f2-6eab-4f53-9697-39303d6bc26a.jpg?v=1775080258","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780691263649-breaking-the-mold","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
