As a contributing author to this edited book, I was also present and it was a worthwhile experience. The book containing 56 chapters was edited by Chairman of Economic Advisory Council to Prime Minister, Bibek Debroy, Dr Anirban Ganguly and Kishore Desai. Contributions were also made from many illustrious commentators and policy-makers, including Swapan Ganguly, Hardeep Singh Puri, Meenakshi Lekhi, Anil Sahasrabudhe and Bindeshwar Pathak, among others.
