Development and Public Finance is a commemorative volume on late Dr. Raja J. Chelliah, one of the foremost Public Finance experts of India. It is designed as a compendium of essays on
contemporary issues of Public Finance and Development, focusing on the rapidly globalizing Indian economy. Well-known scholars and experts have contributed insightful articles to this
collection.
Not only is this volume academically rich, it also has an entire section where Dr. Chelliah's peers and colleagues talk about him and how they saw him-the man they variously describe as a great
scholar, a brilliant economist, and an indomitable crusader.
