'If The Left Stalled Reforms, It Must Be Said It Helped Us Too'
The economist, who's part of a four-member group appointed by the United Nations, on the current crisis
Economist Prabhat Patnaik is part of a four-member group appointed by the United Nations to debate the consequences of the financial crisis and its impact on developing countries. The committee, headed by Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz, will submit its report at a UN discussion in early 2009 on reforming international financial organisations. Pragya Singh spoke to him a day before he left for New York. Excerpts:
How will the global financial crisis impact India?
So the Left is taking credit for this....
What's the future of economic reform in India?
As the crisis unfolds, who will get hurt the most?
What's your view of the steps taken so far in India to counter the fallout of the financial crisis?
There's a view that the government is perhaps not doing enough to stem the fiscal deficit?
