All developing countries look alike in many respects. However, some of these countries are so closely alike that they conjure up in the mind the image of Siamese twins. There are many similarities between India and China such as the existence of surplus labour and interventionist government that deserve a comparative analysis.
In this study, Dr. Srinivas has analysed the development of these two countries with reference to their growth performance, general development and economic transformation as the backdrop for understanding their comparative achievements in the realms of industrial growth and productivity, and liberalisation and industrial relations.
The author has taken care to study the political economy of liberalisation for these booming economies, pointing out that liberalisation has created many negative impacts on labour and labour-capital relations. It has created new areas of contradictions and conflicts and has exacerbated the problems of proletarianisation and casualisation of labour.
This book is relevant for both India and China in the present phase of their industrialisation. It is a welcome addition to the literature on the subject and should remain immensely helpful for students of comparative economic development and political economy, economic planners and those who determine public policy.
