DN Ghosh
Sage India,
468 pages, R795
The book, written by a former banker, who also has been an advisor to the Indian government in many capacities, traces the interrelationship between business and politics over the past 2,000 years. DN Ghosh begins his research by examining Greece, which built one of the world's earliest empires, and traces the economic and political formations through Arab, Chinese, Indian, British and American dispensations. Ghosh digs deep to reveal the bond between the two spheres, which is often ignored by the advocates of ‘free-market’ ideologies.
