&lt;em&gt;Jean Dr&amp;egrave;ze&amp;rsquo;s new book of essays defends action-oriented research, especially in the field of development economics&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Designing government policy to eradicate corruption is not easy. As the &amp;ldquo;demonetization&amp;rdquo; exercise demonstrated, such earnest endeavours can have big and unintended consequences and they often might not proceed according to plan. Although not concerning itself with demonetization, a new book by economist Jean Dr&amp;egrave;ze delves into the challenges of making public policy for India. Specifically, it focuses on policy in the field of poverty eradication, rural employment guarantee and overall social development.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Consider the problem of alleged corruption in the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS). In its bid to prevent officials from siphoning off wages meant for MGNREGS workers, the government stated processing payments through banks and post offices. By separating the payment agency from the agency implanting MGNREGS on the ground, the government hoped to reduce the scope for fudging muster rolls and, hence, corruption.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, as is explained in the book, this had the unintended effect of demotivating many local officials from doing any MGNREGS-related work. Suddenly, massive delays in wage payments cropped up in various places, discouraging workers from participating in scheme-related works. Perhaps, government officials hoped that as workers became discouraged, the MGNREGS scheme would die and their workload would lessen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These and other challenges in making public policy are discussed in the book, which is a collection of essays on India&amp;rsquo;s social development. Most of the essays had previously been published as op-eds in The Hindu newspaper. The scope of the book is wide and it covers issues ranging from poverty, drought, hunger and inadequate healthcare to the alleged nefarious influence of corporations on government policy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
True to its title, the book does not require prior knowledge of economics. It is written in an accessible and reader-friendly manner, with minimum use of jargon. The book relies much less on statistics and charts than the author&amp;rsquo;s earlier book, co-authored with Amartya Sen, India: Development And Participation, which deals with similar topics and is often used as study material in undergraduate economics programmes in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sense And Solidarity is not a standard economics textbook on &amp;ldquo;development economics&amp;rdquo;. The book does not try to prove any statistical hypothesis, but narrates India&amp;rsquo;s experience in battling problems of hunger and poverty since 2000, with an adequate dose of economics. The book may be seen as a bridge between the more standard economics texts and the more lucid narratives of the struggles of marginalized people, such as Arundhati Roy&amp;rsquo;s Broken Republic, which also deals with topics such as poverty, tribal rights and government policy.&lt;br /&gt;

As the &ldquo;demonetization&rdquo; exercise demonstrated, such earnest endeavours can have big and unintended consequences and they often might not proceed according to plan. Although not concerning itself with demonetization, a new book by economist Jean Dr&egrave;ze delves into the challenges of making public policy for India.

In its bid to prevent officials from siphoning off wages meant for MGNREGS workers, the government stated processing payments through banks and post offices. By separating the payment agency from the agency implanting MGNREGS on the ground, the government hoped to reduce the scope for fudging muster rolls and, hence, corruption.<br /><br />However, as is explained in the book, this had the unintended effect of demotivating many local officials from doing any MGNREGS-related work. Suddenly, massive delays in wage payments cropped up in various places, discouraging workers from participating in scheme-related works.

As the &amp;ldquo;demonetization&amp;rdquo; exercise demonstrated, such earnest endeavours can have big and unintended consequences and they often might not proceed according to plan. Although not concerning itself with demonetization, a new book by economist Jean Dr&amp;egrave;ze delves into the challenges of making public policy for India. Specifically, it focuses on policy in the field of poverty eradication, rural employment guarantee and overall social development.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consider the problem of alleged corruption in the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS). In its bid to prevent officials from siphoning off wages meant for MGNREGS workers, the government stated processing payments through banks and post offices. By separating the payment agency from the agency implanting MGNREGS on the ground, the government hoped to reduce the scope for fudging muster rolls and, hence, corruption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, as is explained in the book, this had the unintended effect of demotivating many local officials from doing any MGNREGS-related work. Suddenly, massive delays in wage payments cropped up in various places, discouraging workers from participating in scheme-related works. Perhaps, government officials hoped that as workers became discouraged, the MGNREGS scheme would die and their workload would lessen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These and other challenges in making public policy are discussed in the book, which is a collection of essays on India&amp;rsquo;s social development. Most of the essays had previously been published as op-eds in The Hindu newspaper.

Designing government policy to eradicate corruption is not easy. As the &amp;ldquo;demonetization&amp;rdquo; exercise demonstrated, such earnest endeavours can have big and unintended consequences and they often might not proceed according to plan. Although not concerning itself with demonetization, a new book by economist Jean Dr&amp;egrave;ze delves into the challenges of making public policy for India. Specifically, it focuses on policy in the field of poverty eradication, rural employment guarantee and overall social development.&lt;br /&gt;

Consider the problem of alleged corruption in the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS). In its bid to prevent officials from siphoning off wages meant for MGNREGS workers, the government stated processing payments through banks and post offices. By separating the payment agency from the agency implanting MGNREGS on the ground, the government hoped to reduce the scope for fudging muster rolls and, hence, corruption.&lt;br /&gt;

As the &amp;ldquo;demonetization&amp;rdquo; exercise demonstrated, such earnest endeavours can have big and unintended consequences and they often might not proceed according to plan. Although not concerning itself with demonetization, a new book by economist Jean Dr&amp;egrave;ze delves into the challenges of making public policy for India. Specifically, it focuses on policy in the field of poverty eradication, rural employment guarantee and overall social development.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consider the problem of alleged corruption in the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS). In its bid to prevent officials from siphoning off wages meant for MGNREGS workers, the government stated processing payments through banks and post offices. By separating the payment agency from the agency implanting MGNREGS on the ground, the government hoped to reduce the scope for fudging muster rolls and, hence, corruption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, as is explained in the book, this had the unintended effect of demotivating many local officials from doing any MGNREGS-related work. Suddenly, massive delays in wage payments cropped up in various places, discouraging workers from participating in scheme-related works. Perhaps, government officials hoped that as workers became discouraged, the MGNREGS scheme would die and their workload would lessen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These and other challenges in making public policy are discussed in the book, which is a collection of essays on India&amp;rsquo;s social development.

The scope of the book is wide and it covers issues ranging from poverty, drought, hunger and inadequate healthcare to the alleged nefarious influence of corporations on government policy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;True to its title, the book does not require prior knowledge of economics. It is written in an accessible and reader-friendly manner, with minimum use of jargon. The book relies much less on statistics and charts than the author&amp;rsquo;s earlier book, co-authored with Amartya Sen, India: Development And Participation, which deals with similar topics and is often used as study material in undergraduate economics programmes in India.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sense And Solidarity is not a standard economics textbook on &amp;ldquo;development economics&amp;rdquo;. The book does not try to prove any statistical hypothesis, but narrates India&amp;rsquo;s experience in battling problems of hunger and poverty since 2000, with an adequate dose of economics.

Designing government policy to eradicate corruption is not easy.

Although not concerning itself with demonetization, a new book by economist Jean Dr&amp;egrave;ze delves into the challenges of making public policy for India. Specifically, it focuses on policy in the field of poverty eradication, rural employment guarantee and overall social development.&lt;br /&gt;

By separating the payment agency from the agency implanting MGNREGS on the ground, the government hoped to reduce the scope for fudging muster rolls and, hence, corruption.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, as is explained in the book, this had the unintended effect of demotivating many local officials from doing any MGNREGS-related work.

<em>Jean Dr&egrave;ze&rsquo;s new book of essays defends action-oriented research, especially in the field of development economics<br />
</em><br />
Designing government policy to eradicate corruption is not easy. As the &ldquo;demonetization&rdquo; exercise demonstrated, such earnest endeavours can have big and unintended consequences and they often might not proceed according to plan. Although not concerning itself with demonetization, a new book by economist Jean Dr&egrave;ze delves into the challenges of making public policy for India. Specifically, it focuses on policy in the field of poverty eradication, rural employment guarantee and overall social development.<br />
<br />
Consider the problem of alleged corruption in the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS). In its bid to prevent officials from siphoning off wages meant for MGNREGS workers, the government stated processing payments through banks and post offices. By separating the payment agency from the agency implanting MGNREGS on the ground, the government hoped to reduce the scope for fudging muster rolls and, hence, corruption.<br />
<br />
However, as is explained in the book, this had the unintended effect of demotivating many local officials from doing any MGNREGS-related work. Suddenly, massive delays in wage payments cropped up in various places, discouraging workers from participating in scheme-related works. Perhaps, government officials hoped that as workers became discouraged, the MGNREGS scheme would die and their workload would lessen.<br />
<br />
These and other challenges in making public policy are discussed in the book, which is a collection of essays on India&rsquo;s social development. Most of the essays had previously been published as op-eds in The Hindu newspaper. The scope of the book is wide and it covers issues ranging from poverty, drought, hunger and inadequate healthcare to the alleged nefarious influence of corporations on government policy.<br />
<br />
True to its title, the book does not require prior knowledge of economics. It is written in an accessible and reader-friendly manner, with minimum use of jargon. The book relies much less on statistics and charts than the author&rsquo;s earlier book, co-authored with Amartya Sen, India: Development And Participation, which deals with similar topics and is often used as study material in undergraduate economics programmes in India.<br />
<br />
Sense And Solidarity is not a standard economics textbook on &ldquo;development economics&rdquo;. The book does not try to prove any statistical hypothesis, but narrates India&rsquo;s experience in battling problems of hunger and poverty since 2000, with an adequate dose of economics. The book may be seen as a bridge between the more standard economics texts and the more lucid narratives of the struggles of marginalized people, such as Arundhati Roy&rsquo;s Broken Republic, which also deals with topics such as poverty, tribal rights and government policy.<br />
