POPSSocialism Kills: The Human Cost of Delayed Economic Reform in India
What would the impact on social indicators have been had India commenced economic reform one decade earlier, and enjoyed correspondingly faster economic growth and improvements in human development indicators? This paper seeks to estimate the number of "missing children," "missing literates," and "missing non-poor" resulting from delayed reform, slower economic growth, and hence, slower improvement of social indicators. It finds that with earlier reform, 14.5 million more children would have survived, 261 million more Indians would have become literate, and 109 million more people would have risen above the poverty line. The delay in economic reform represents an enormous social tragedy. It drives home the point that India's socialist era, which claimed it would deliver growth with social justice, delivered neither. by Swaminathan S.

POPSMore NHS problems: are terminal patients being sedated to death? More ammunition for the anti-health care reform camp. A protocol known as the "Liverpool Care Pathway," which is meant to prevent over-treatment during a terminal patient's final hours and preserve his or her dignity, has come under fire for acting as a "self-fulfilling prophecy."
