The authors (professors of economics at the U. of Queensland, Australia) offer a comparative analysis of the developmental experiences of China and India, applying quantitative analysis to investigation of economic, social, political, and environmental aspects of the countries' development from the 1950s forward. After comparing the initial conditions and development strategies for China and India, they offer chapters that separately examine institutions for the control and allocation of resources, agricultural policies, industrial and technology policies, the foreign sectors, growths of capital stock, it labor resources. They conclude with policy recommendations for further economic liberalization and privatization that they believe will help India narrow the growth gap with the more successful China.
