Editorial Reviews

'This well-researched, thought-provoking and documented book is bound to generate a considerable amount of interest in government, business and the academic world in general and the student community in particular.' S. Divakara, Director-General, Forum of Free Enterprise, India

'To write a book on such a well-trodden and controversial subject as globalization and successfully differentiate it from other works is no small feat. That is precisely what Mahtaney accomplishes in this comparative study of India's and China's economic development and its implications for future development of other emerging economies... Mahtaney makes illuminating distinctions among growth, increase in per capita real GDP, and development, and raises important issues concerning the future of globalization and economic integration.' - CHOICE
