Some choose the area of scholarship and master it in all its completeness. Others follow a wider class of issues and master all that is important about them. However, Prof. Radhakrishna has chosen to pursue an even harder intellectual strategy that is what makes him incomparably distinct. He chooses to get deeper into problems that face society in all their aspects and follows these till a meaningful solution is found. It is clearly a hard but meaningful pursuit, as we have known for decades about his works. It is these works that are brought together in this unique volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e—Prof. V.N.

In an era where quantitatively-driven analytical insights into the linkages among such policy-relevant variables as food prices, income distribution, and nutrient intake seem to take a back seat to loud populists, who miss academic elites as “out of touch” with the common folk, Prof. Radhakrishna provides in this volume, chapter after chapter, precisely these very insights and also uses them to identify clear and helpful policy initiatives that can significantly improve the welfare of vast strata of the Indian population. This volume renews my confidence that food policy analysis is a powerful tool indeed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e—\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProf. C.

Radhakrishna’s monumental work in economics is as unique as it is astonishing and inspiring in many ways: (1) a central and constant concern: poverty and inequalities in India; (2) the rigorous use and development of various microeconomic and macroeconomic analysis tools; (3) a theoretical thought never dissociated from empirical data, even at a time when these were less accessible than today; (4) a desire to inform and guide public policies, as he succeeded to the extent possible; (5) a disconcerting modesty and humility: it was time for this book to be published to inform and strengthen works on inequality and income redistribution in the 21st century!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e—\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Bruno Dorin,\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSenior Economist at CIRAD (Montpellier, France), CIRED (Paris, France) and CSH (New Delhi, India).\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEconomy-wide and sector-wide modelling have been a key source of evidence-based policy-making in India.
