Opinion: The Retro Tax Was Bad, India. Don't Make It Worse

Opinion: Why I'm Losing Hope In India
Call it buyers' remorse. Those of us who thought that muscular leadership would revive India's dream of mimicking Chinese-style double-digit expansion are not just disappointed.

Opinion: India's Money Helicopter Flew Wrong Way With Cash Ban
In the annals of economic experimentation, India's cash ban will stand out. Not because it was ill-advised, poorly executed or unsuccessful in achieving its original aims. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's move to outlaw 86 percent of his country's currency a year ago today was all those things. What made it remarkable, though, was the way it flew aga...
