#Review: A World in Flux by Amita Batra and A. K. Bhattacharya

Few economists have left as indelible a mark on India’s economic landscape as Dr. Shankar Acharya. A World in Flux: India’s Economic Priorities is a long-overdue tribute to his contributions—an insightful Festschrift that not only honours Acharya’s legacy but also acts as a compass for India’s future economic path.

The volume is smartly divided into two parts—global dynamics and the Indian context—bringing together a stellar lineup of contributors who dissect today’s most pressing economic challenges. From the ongoing shifts in global trade and the urgency of climate action, to the digital revolution, urbanization trends, and the future of India’s workforce, the essays offer a panoramic yet detailed examination of a world in constant motion.

What sets this book apart is its ability to balance academic rigour with practical relevance. The analyses are sharp, the insights actionable, and the breadth of topics ensures that there is something valuable here for policymakers, economists, business leaders, and engaged citizens alike.

For those seeking to understand India’s evolving economic priorities in an increasingly interconnected world, A World in Flux is not just informative—it is indispensable. An essential addition to the library of anyone invested in India’s economic journey.
