Breaking the Mould examines why older development strategies may not be enough for India’s future. The authors argue that India should invest more deeply in education, health, skills, innovation, and governance while creating opportunities in high-skilled services and new forms of manufacturing.
Its strength lies in combining economic analysis with a practical reform agenda. The book encourages readers to think beyond standard growth formulas and consider what a more inclusive, creative, and institutionally strong economic model could look like.
