Every successful country has an operating system, a value system on which the country’s socio-economic institutions are built. India has had none and therefore the chaos and resultant failure to succeed in a globally competitive environment for capital and correlated wealth creation. The book analyses why India as a country is a Collective and must incorporate an operating system that is in line with this very logic. Divided into three epochs - Past, Present and Future, the book attempts to see the bigger picture and understand India as a country, as a value system and as an economy from within.
