How's Life ? - Measuring Well-Being. By OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation
and Development), Indian edition, 2012. The report finds that well-being
has increased on average over the past fifteen years: people are richer and
more likely to be employed; they enjoy better housing conditions and are exposed
to lower air pollution; they live longer and are more educated; they are
also exposed to fewer crimes. But differences across countries are large.
Furthermore, some groups of the population, particularly less educated and
low-income people, tend to fare systematically worse in all dimensions of
well-being considered in this report: for instance they live shorter lives
and report greater health problems; their children obtain worse school
results; they participate less in political activities; they can rely on
lower social networks in case of needs; they are more exposed to crime and
pollution; they tend to be less satisfied with their life as a whole than
more educated and higher-income people. Hows Life? is part of the OECD
Better Life Initiative, launched by the Organization on the occasion of its
50th Anniversary. The OECD Better Life Initiative aims to promote Better
Policies for Better Lives, in line with the OECDs overarching mission. Rs.1295

World Development Report 2013 - Jobs. By The World Bank, 2012-13. This year's report
explains and analyzes the connection between jobs and important dimensions
of economic and social development. The Report provides analytical tools to
identify the obstacles to sustained job creation and examine differences in
the nature of jobs, which in turn affects the potential of jobs to raise
living standards, increase aggregate productivity, and enhance social
cohesion. It explores the notion of a good job in that some jobs do more
for economic and social development than others, because they reduce
poverty and inequality, strengthen value chains and production clusters, or
help build trust and shared values. Rs.1960

Economic Policies and India's Reform Agenda: New Thinking. By Y. V. Reddy, 2013. Has the still-threatening
global financial crisis really signalled the weaknesses of Economics, the
scientific discipline as we know it? This question has inspired a volume of
essays from Y. V. Reddy.Navigating through the debates between 2010 and
2012 on the continuing global financial crisis, Economic Policies and
Indias Reform Agenda: New Thinking reflects the confidence of the former
central banker who steered the nations banks to safer waters.Reddy seeks a
change in economic thought and policy-making. Arguing for a three-fold
shift in the discipline, he calls for broadening the focus of
policy-makers, improvisation in the tools employed by economists and an
emphasis on empirical evidence. This new thinking, he says, will contribute
to Indias accelerated development.New Thinking addresses three concerns of
economic thought for a developing economy: public policy after the crisis,
the role of the financial sector in development, and the lessons learnt
from world economies. Novel in approach, this volume critically examines
Indias development strategies and suggests a redefining of the role of the
financial sector in accelerating development. The authors observations on
other developing economies and analyses of the diverse uncertainties enable
a comprehensive understanding of the influence of global factors on the
reform agenda for India.Reddys New Thinking is built on experience that is
gifted with foresight and understanding of theory. His language is fluid,
his ideas objective, his prescriptions visionary. This collection will
inspire debates, and encourage fresh perspectives on attaining the desired
growth rate in India. As it addresses a readership committed to
developments in the Indian economy, his analyses are certain to question
some popular convictions on the countrys economic thought and policies. Rs.550

GUJARAT - Governance for Growth and Development. By Bibek Debroy, 2012. This book isn't about
Gujarat's growth alone. It is about development too. It isn't just about
vibrant industry. It is also about the perceptible improvement in social
sectors, especially noticeable after 2007. It is a story of education and
health, water, electricity and roads. It is a story of how these benefits
have trickled down and how deprived segments have been main-streamed. That
Gujarat model, so to speak, has implications for other States too, since it
is about governance, efficient public expenditure, decentralization and
participatory planning. The focus of this book, deliberately not written in
an academic style, is to draw attention to that development template. While
there can be disagreement about what the Gujarat model represents, and what
it does not, and about what made the Gujarat model work, before any debate,
there ought to be a statement of the facts. That's what this book sets out
to do. Rs.795
