Of Counsel: The Challenges of the Modi-Jaitley Economy by Arvind Subramanian
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

For the lay person who does not know the difference TBS and GBS or GDP and GTT, this book was very simply and lucidly written – at least in parts. The sections on Power and complicated Fiscal stuff was gibberish to me. The initial sections were very informative, as was the section on Agriculture.

The postscript on Federer and Nadal was the author’s tribute to these legends of tennis. Particularly evocative was the photo of Federer hitting a backhand and the similarity in grace with a ballerina.

How the GST evolved is fascinating stuff. Alas, the ‘real’ reason for demonetization was not there....
