After regaining independence in 1947, India immediately adopted a firmly democratic political system. The famines of the British era disappeared, along with economic stagnation; despite a recent dip, India's growth remains among the fastest in the world. Yet, Drèze and Sen argue, there have been failures both to foster participatory growth and to make good use of the public resources generated by economic growth to enhance people's living conditions.

Jean Drèze

studied Mathematical Economics at the University of Essex and obtained his PhD in Economics at the Indian Statistical Institute, New Delhi. He has taught at the London School of Economics and the Delhi School of Economics, and is now Visiting Professor at Ranchi University in India. Jean Drèze has made wide-ranging contributions to development economics and public economics, with special reference to India. He is co-author (with Amartya Sen) of Hunger and Public Action and An Uncertain Glory: India and Its Contradictions. Jean Drèze is also active in various campaigns for economic and social rights in India, as well as in the world-wide movement for peace and disarmament.
