Restart tells the story of India's rapid economic evolution to a world leader — and its dramatic fall back into old woes.

At the start of the 21st century, India was poised to become a major player in the world's economy.

Unfortunately, while other countries such as China, Russia, and Brazil have since moved forward, the Indian economy remains stagnant.

In Restart: The Last Chance for the Indian Economy, Harvard economist Mihir S. Sharma explains the inner workings of the country's rapid economic decline.

Sharma explores the complex structural problems holding India back, as well as what the country can do to unlock the creativity and ingenuity of its billion people and become a true world superpower.
