Experts Talk About New Economic Parameters For New India
On this week's episode of The Big Fight, we look ahead at policy parameters for the Indian economy from a theoretical point of view. We debate over the direction the economy needs to take. Should there be more taxes or less? What should be the government's priorities? Finally, how can India catch up with China? Some of these ideas have been thrown in by Dr Surjit Bhalla, whose new book - 'The New Wealth of Nations' - compels the reader to question some of the common perceptions around the economy. Is it time to re-think some of these age old ideas, is inequality actually falling? Is it in fact education that is the real indicator of wealth? Should we start looking at sustainable models for improving on our health and education models? For all this and more, join our panel of experts comprising of Amitabh Kant, CEO, Niti Aayog, Harsh Mander, Writer and Activist, Yogendra Yadav, President, Swaraj Abhiyan and politicians Jagdish Shettigar and Rajeev Gowda along with Dr. Surjit Bhalla to discuss the policy parameters for a new India.
