Reviews

This is an extremely topical work and is a broadly well-rounded analysis with strong empirics. The work looks very well-organised. I recommend its publication. This unusual ms is a substantial and worthwhile contribution. EPW has been India's premier journal and has been a forum for scholarly debates and discussions on important policy matters; hence selections from its pages over a half a century connected with the theme of black money, bring much valuable historical and contemporary material together and helps readers in engaging with the current demonetisation experience in a better light. The book is likely to attract a large readership; it will interest students, researchers, policy makers and others in diverse fields from economics to governance.

Its recommended as a reading article for the range of academic to the political economist and the governance professionals. * Ganadeva Bandyopadhyay, Blogcritics *
