PREPARING FOR A WORLD TRANSFORMED
To say that COVID-19 has changed the world is merely stating the obvious at this point.
Deep-seated trends in the world order have been accelerated by the pandemic. As the US's star-spangled banner fades, China's red-gold stars once seemed to be dawning over Asia - a hegemony now questioned by many. An unprecedented global reorganisation of capital, labour, and supply chains is in the making. And India needs to be ready.
India's Marathon is an anthology of fifteen essays from some of the world's brightest public intellectuals to help India understand what needs to be done - and answer some of the pressing questions that are sure to arise in the years to come. How can India manage its relationships with China and the US? How can it turn its enormous population into a driver of economic growth? How can it reform its taxation systems and institutions of governance to be prepared for unprecedented challenges? Most importantly, how can India shape the post-pandemic world to suit its interests while dealing with its own complicated problems?
India's Marathon has answers to all this - and more. Unlike most other books that aim to forecast the future, India's Marathon is unabashedly India-centric, written with Indian interests and ideas front and centre. This is an Indian vision of what the world will look like and what India needs to do, for the policy professional and lay reader alike.
