The last chapter of the book gives readers a peek into the disruptions the country could face in the coming years.
In the interactive session, Bhattacharya said, "The book is not for experts. The purpose of this book is to enlighten the generation of Indians who were not aware of the various shocks, turbulence, and changes that happened in the Indian political economy, and how they happened."
