SHORTLISTED FOR THE FT & MCKINSEY BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2018




A Financial Times Book of the Year and an Amazon Top 100 Book of the Year, The Billionaire Raj delves into India's explosive rise, which has led to unprecedented inequality. Millions of people are trapped in slums, while billionaires lavishly spend and evade taxes. Controversial Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed to break the grip of the Bollygarchs, but many tycoons continue to thrive amidst scandals, exerting significant influence over business and politics.




But who are these titans of politics and industry shaping India through this period of breakneck change? And what kind of superpower are they creating? A vivid portrait of a deeply divided nation, The Billionaire Raj makes clear that India's destiny - whether it becomes a prosperous democratic giant or a corrupt authoritarian regime - is something that should concern us all.




About the Book


The Billionaire Raj is a groundbreaking work of non-fiction that offers a comprehensive exploration of India's economic and political landscape. Written by acclaimed author and journalist Vikas Swarup, the book provides a detailed account of the rise of the billionaire class and their impact on society.


Swarup delves into the complex web of relationships between the government, business, and the elite, shedding light on the ways in which they shape India's development. He also examines the impact of globalization on India's economy and the challenges that the country faces in maintaining its position as a global power.


Through a series of compelling anecdotes and interviews, Swarup brings to life the stories of the billionaire Raj, highlighting their achievements, controversies, and the challenges they face in navigating the complex web of Indian politics. The book also offers a critical analysis of the policies and institutions that have contributed to the rise of the billionaire class, and proposes solutions for addressing the growing inequality in India.


Conclusion


In conclusion, The Billionaire Raj is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of India's economy and politics. Written with clarity, insight, and depth, the book provides a valuable perspective on the country's future and the challenges that it faces. By shedding light on the billionaire Raj, Swarup helps us to understand the forces that are shaping India's development and the role that individuals and institutions can play in creating a more equitable and prosperous society.
