Abstract
Dr. Kena Wani interviews Dr. Aditya Balasubramanian about his recent work, Toward a Free Economy: Swatantra and Opposition Politics in Democratic India (Princeton University Press, 2023). The book tracks the emergence of neoliberal ideas in the first three decades of independence in India by following the political, social, and institutional trajectories of the Swatantra Party (1959 to 1974) founded by C. Rajagopalachari.
