Understanding the Black Economy and Black Money in India: An Enquiry into Causes, Consequences & Remedies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 219min
The Narendra Modi government's sudden demonetization of '500 and '1,000 notes in November 2016 failed to put a dent in the black economy but caused untold hardship to hundreds of millions of Indians. It has crippled the country's economy for a long time to come. In this book, Arun Kumar, the country's leading authority on the black economy, tells us why Modi's gambit failed. He shows us the way in which the problem can be rooted out, provided the government has the political will and determination to act. Today, the black economy is estimated to be 62 percent of GDP - or about '93 lakh crore ($1.4 trillion). Corrupt businessmen, corrupt politicians and corrupt members of the executive (bureaucrats, police and the judiciary) are responsible for controlling the black economy and enabling its growth. If the black economy were to be dismantled and turned into a part of the 'white' economy, the country's rate of growth would be 12 percent. If it had not grown the way it has since the 1970s, India's per capita income today would be approximately '7 lakh per annum ($11,000), and India would become the second largest economy in the world. If the black economy were taxed at current rates, it would generate '37 lakh crore in additional taxes, and the union budget would show a surplus of '31 lakh crore instead of a deficit. The failure of successive governments to tackle the problem effectively has been the single biggest obstacle to eradicating poverty. It is the cause of both widespread policy failure and the inability of the nation to improve its living conditions rapidly. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ashden H. Dodhy.

The Meltdown: India Inc's Biggest Implosions , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 403min
This is a behind-the-scenes look at the spectacular collapse of some of the biggest names in India Inc. The book reveals the real reasons behind the non-payment of loans of over Rs nine lakh crore to the banks by behemoths like Reliance Communications, Videocon, IL&FS and Essay Steel, among others. The authors analyze how funds were illegally diverted from some of the bankrupt companies and why auditors as well as bankers went into sleep mode. Even more baffling was the fact that a few bankers loaned thousands of crores of rupees to these companies based on nothing but project reports by investment bankers hired by the company promoters. And, most shocking of all, some bankers kept giving fresh loans to firms that had been defaulting on their payments. The authors investigate whether sinister machinations took place at the top corporate houses that failed to repay trillions of rupees to Banks. How did some promoters manage to survive the NPA choke, while other promoters were either jailed or fled India? These corporate failures have plunged the entire economy into deep crisis. The aftermath of the meltdown did not even spare the small investors who were deceived by the much-vaunted credit-rating agencies that kept giving the best ratings to companies that were almost bankrupt. The most devastating impact, however, was that thousands of people lost their jobs overnight when these companies shut their operations. The authors analyse what went wrong and the lessons we can learn from India Inc’s biggest implosion. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rajiv Dadia.

Bharatiya Janta Party: Past, Present and Future: Story of the World’s Largest Political Party , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 887min
On 29th March, 2015, at BJP’s old office at 11, Ashoka Road, a digital counter was ticking. Party workers, office bearers and even staff, all were staring at the digital screen. The screen was showing the total number of party members enrolled through the party’s new ‘Sadasyata Abhiyan’ (Membership Drive). The party’s national president, Amit Shah, was in office that day. With a childlike eagerness in his eyes, he too was looking at the digital counter. As soon as the counter hit the target, the whole office erupted in euphoria. It reached 8.8 crore members, surpassing the Communist Party of China. The ambitious membership drive was Shah's idea. Next day every leading newspaper reported it bold and clear - BJP became the largest political party in the world.How did this happen? Was it merely a numerical exercise which boosted Bharatiya Janata Party’s fortunes or was it the case of an idea whose time had come? From a mere two seats in the Lok Sabha in 1984 to now having decimated the opposition, can this juggernaut be attributed to only the Modi-Shah duo or do the reasons run deep into the complexity of the highly misunderstood Hindutva movement? To answer these questions, Shantanu Gupta travels back into the history of the Right-wing movements in India, from their ideological origins to the evolution of their nationalist idea, bringing together a comprehensive study of not just BJP as a political party but of an ideological entity which defines the nationalist movement in the country like never before.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt.
