Categories: Politics & Social Sciences
India Grows at Night: A Liberal Case for a Strong State (2012) is a book by Indian writer Gurcharan Das, who earlier led Procter & Gamble India. Das argues that India's private economy often grows at night, when the state is asleep, despite weak and corrupt government. He makes a liberal case for reforming and strengthening the state so that growth and the rule of law can advance together.
