Books and Academic Chapters
While my op-eds capture the pulse of the daily news cycle, my book chapters allow for deeper, more sustained analysis. Here, I explore the structural forces shaping our economy, from the gendered dynamics of India’s workforce to the global trade-offs of Brexit. These works reflect my rigorous academic research into the long-term trends defining our future.
