Das sees a great drama and hope in India's economic and social transformation of the past 20 years; it is "the struggle of one-sixth of humanity for dignity and prosperity," and it has consequences for the future of the rest of the world as well. Within a generation, he writes, the middle class which now makes up about 18 percent of the Indian population is expected to increase to 50 percent. He tells the story of the nation's free-market revolution in the first person, using his own history to illustrate greater historic truths about India's prosperity and poverty. Das is a venture capitalist and newspaper columnist based in New Delhi. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
