Review: In Spite of the Gods
I read Edward Luce’s In Spite of the Gods: The Strange Rise of Modern India on the plane. It offers a smart view of India that moves past the Friedman-esque optimism that plagues so many of these books and provides insight into the (many) challenges India faces. Reminiscent, to some degree, of V.S. Naipaul’s work.
