A Treatise on Onions
Making Sense of India’s Political Economy
GIS, 2015
Aperçu
To predict who will win elections in India, forget the polls; look at onion prices.
Recommendation
The humble onion is a deeply meaningful vegetable, especially when it comes to India’s economy. In this fascinating and elegantly written report, free market proponent Barun S. Mitra eviscerates India’s agricultural controls – policies he considers misguided. Mitra describes the peculiarities of the nation’s volatile markets, and he persuasively argues that the problems extend well beyond onions to larger parts of India’s economy. getAbstract recommends this revealing article to investors and executives seeking insights into India’s sometimes-baffling markets.
