  Those who want to be our rulers have to provide food to all citizens at reasonably affordable prices as well as to ensure that those who produce food have reasonable dividends for their products and labour. If there is rural indebtedness, then a solution has to be found; if there is a surplus production, then the farmers must not be made to incur a loss; if there is a shortage of pulses, wheat, or rice, then the government must import, whatever the cost.
Different players, internal and external, with different and varying assets, potential, resources and capacities compete to hijack the governmental policies in their favour. This is the basic stuff of political economy. Politicians and policy-advocates are batting in a game over which they do not have total control. The consequences are uneven, sometime even cruel. Mohan Guruswamy and his two colleagues have competently tried to cut through a very difficult and vexatious subject, giving the trade-off involved in various choices. This study should stimulate an informed debate.
