Financial Policies and Everyday Life

The Indian Context

S.S. Tarapore

About the Book

<p>After a long career in central banking, the distinguished economist S.S. Tarapore&nbsp;<br /> has been writing columns in financial dailies. There was a felt need to reach out to a&nbsp;<br /> wider audience in a regional language. During the period October 2005-August 2008,&nbsp;<br /> he turned to writing a regular column in the widely circulating Gujarati newspaper, the Divya Bhaskar.<br /> &nbsp;This volume brings to the English speaking readers, for the first time, his writings in&nbsp;<br /> the Divya Bhaskar on monetary, fiscal, banking and external sector management, but essentially from&nbsp;<br /> the viewpoint of the aam aadmi. The volume would be of interest to the general reader who wishes to&nbsp;<br /> stay abreast of developments in financial policies and it would also be of interest to policymakers,<br /> &nbsp;opinion makers, bankers, academics and students.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
