Desai, who served as the Chief Economic Consultant to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during the 1991-1993 phase, has penned down his remarkable thoughts regarding the Indian economy in this book, 'The Price of Onions'. Being an ardent supporter of liberalization, the author narrates incidents and recounts activities which highlight the importance of the same, time and again. The book is written in less of an academic tone and with more of the zeal of a story-teller. Policy prescriptions made by Desai, might seem unfathomable but do paint a clear picture of the state of the economy for the common man. 'The Price of Onions' serves as a handy guide for all Indian nationals.
