A more full-blooded embrace of markets should have brought corruption down and increased competition for the benefi t of customers and citizens alike. But that was not the path we took over the last decade. An expanding pie should have provided adequate resources for off ering safety nets to the really poor even while leaving enough with the exchequer to fund public goods. But India is currently eating the seedcorn of future growth with mindless social spending. Corruption has scaled new heights, politicians have been found hand-in-glove with businessmen to hijack state resources for private ends, and a weakened state is opting for even harsher laws and an INDIA ever-expanding system of unaff ordable doles to maintain itself in power. Politicians have raided the treasury for private purposes, and businessmen fi nd more profi t in rent-seeking behaviour than in competing fairly in the marketplace.
