A Hindu Rate of Growth
Too tired to blog it properly right now, but over at Comment is Free a royal battle is developing.
In the red corner is Pankaj Mishra with his praise of the old days of Marxist planned economies and fears for the new capitalist dawn in India and China.
In the blue corner is Salil Tripathi, reacting against Mishra's nostalgia-fuelled views.
Another round ensued today, with Mishra politely punching back.
I know who my money's on but the fact that people are still thinking Mishra's way is worth noting.
