Today, I came across this article by Anil Ambani at rediff.com and I thought I'd share with people who may have not read it. Also, it would be interesting to know what the die-hard market believers have to say on this especially coming from a person who may be one of the biggest capitalist ideologues: "What then is the way forward? After 15 long years of piecemeal reforms, we know enough about the power of the market and what it can achieve. But we also know what it can't. The market can give us efficiency but not equity. It can generate profits but not justice. In one word, it is not a substitute for legitimate functions of the State." He further says: "But the Indian State is ill equipped to play that role in its present form. Pouring more developmental money into the black hole that is our babudom is clearly not the answer. What is required is a drastic administrative overhaul. We must learn from the rare successes of state-run development schemes -- from the mid-day meal scheme in Tamil Nadu to education for all in Kerala to the employment guarantee scheme in Maharashtra -- and, where necessary, build new models of public-private partnership." Sorry if I posted this comment in the wrong section. Hello Yazad & other capitalists:
