I recently completed a book "Commanding Heights" by Yergin and Stanislaw - it is an amazing read . It takes you down through the ages and shows you how in spite of changing times the basic tenets , underlying assumptions on which the human society is built has remained the same. It has a special chapter on India and correctly predicts what would have happened if the ecnomy would be liberalised - just yesterday the BSE sensex reached its higher ever closing of almost 19000 points. It also makes a detailed analysis of things that went wrong - what prevented nations from becoming great and also showcases a few indivisuals who by the sheer dint of their beliefs and conviction changed the course of history. It is highly recommended read and makes for a very enlightening experience.
