Advice and Dissent My Life in Public Service

Advice and Dissent My Life in Public Service

 In this book the author provides an insiders account of decision making at all levels during his career in public service, which began when he joined the IAS in 1964. Firm and unafraid to speak his mind in his dealings, he nevertheless avoided open discord and alludes to controversies on key policy decisions which reverberate even now. In a book that appeals to the lay reader and the finance specialist alike, he lays out the debate and thinking behind landmark events and initiatives whose benefits reached the man on the street.
