Chapter 2 in The Economy of South Asia, 2017, pp 23-37 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract At any time in the past or the present, the capacity of the South Asian states to deliver growth and welfare was shaped by three endowments – structural conditions such as geography; historical experiences, such as the legacy of British colonial rule; and the world economic environment. How did these endowments matter to the successes and failures of the developmental states that came into being in the larger countries after 1950?
