The event marks the launch of a book that gives special insights into the fundamental question of development economics, “How lives change”. This is the title of the book which uses a unique data set consisting of seven full (100%) surveys of one Indian village, one for every decade since Independence. The book, published in August 2018 by OUP, is by Himanshu, Peter Lanjouw and Nicholas Stern; the two previous OUP books on Palanpur will be simultaneously re-issued as paperbacks. The panel, including the Director of the LSE, consists of some of the leading scholars and practitioners of economic development of our times. The book reflects on the past, present and future, both of India and of development economics, seen through the experience of Palanpur in the years since Independence.
