More Politics of Business than Business

More Politics of Business than Business P M Mathew SMALL-SCALE industries sector in India has been very little examined against the background of economic reforms. This is probably for the reason that very few people are really concerned about having a scientific understanding of the problems of this sector from a policy angle. The little literature that has emerged is either purely academic with very little of practical utility or initiated by some retired civil servants. Naturally, the quality of studies in this area is poor and they have very little practical utility from the point of view of developing this sector.
