Chidambaram, One Of India S Most Accomplished Economists And Commentators, Shows In A View From The Outside, A Collection Of Columns That Assesses The Promises And Performance Of The Nda Government In The Period 2002 To 2004.
The Columns, Originally Published In The Indian Express And The Financial Express, Reflect The Views Of Chidambaram, Finance Minister Between 1996 And 1998 And Again From 2004 Onwards, On A Range Of Issues That Remain Important Regardless Of The Government In Power. They Also Provide Snapshots Of The Indian Economy In Good Times And Bad.

The Issues Are All The More Important As They Hold The Key To Sustaining The Economic Growth Witnessed In The Last Few Years.
