humiliation of corruption could be the harbinger of more sweeping change But the challenges economic and political are great GDP growth has slipped below 5 per cent a year a critical threshold Harvard economists Lant Pritchett and Larry Summers report that countries rarely grow much faster than the world economy for extended periods They suggest that India could enter a phase with GDP growth stuck in the 3 to 5 per cent a year range Maintaining prolonged high growth rates is unusual because it requires uninterrupted forward-looking investment in infrastructureeducationand economic and social governance The few countries that have broken free from regular relapses into low growthmostly in East Asiahave worked hard to ensure such investment Chinawhich Pritchett and Summers say faces the same risk as Indiahas bucked this tendency by continually investing in its future Its world-class infrastructure is much admired TodayChina is staking a claim to the 21st century based on the quality

in the same PISA test in 2009; they competed for last place with Kyrgyzstan Despite progressthere remain formidable gaps in the quality of primary educationthe essential base for all subsequent learning Thusnotwithstanding heartwarming anecdotes of Indian educational and scientific successthe cold macro reality is that India is competing itself out of the global marketplace At the low-tech endIndian products are unable to compete with other low-wage countries; at the high endour human capital and infrastructure fall short At homemany Indian producers have ceded ground to Chinese manufactured imports At such momentswe turn with hope to new leadership Surely a new prime ministera new finance minister will turn things around The drumbeat for a more business-friendly leader has gained steady momentum Not just business-friendlybut one who can get things done Indeedthe lesson often drawn from Chinese success is that India needs more authoritarian leadership presidential governmentperhaps This is saviour fantasy and bound to disappoint It draws the wrong lesson from Chinaand India is not China The right lesson from China is that lessnot morecentral control is needed Chinese local governments have powerful incentives to support growththrough building roads and power plantsencouraging industrial investment and educating their residents This system has its own downsides in excess investmentenvironmental degradation and a hukou system that restricts social and housing services for migrants Neverthelessauthoritarian China paradoxically can be more responsive to the voice of its people more attentivefor exampleto internet chatrooms than democratic India Indians have greater right to protest butfor that very reasonpolitical leaders feel there is little cost in ignoring the protests until matters become intolerable There are no easy fixes All traditional political parties are beholden to a new rent-seeking culture Whereas once rent-seeking focused on licences for manufacturingtoday the focus is on government contracts Politics and economics remain joined at the hip Even populist programmes enrich the well-connected It should not be a surprise that

more promise than does a national saviour The AAP will most likely not sustain its campaigns economic undertakingsand that may prove to be its undoing But the stranglehold of corruption stands a real chance of being weakened Indias greatest strength and achievement is its democracy And while democracy is messy and may get messierit is democracy that must be leveraged for economic and social progress The international evidence is clear: in the long rungenuine democracy and economic welfare reinforce each other The promise lies not in the AAP scaling up to the national level but in the emergence of AAPs across the country The real promise lies in the possibility of political entrepreneurship and the electorate leading a transformation of politicswhether through insurgent political movements or pressures to reform old parties It lies in the competition for ideas to reset the governance structure India cannot be governed from the Centre Economic reform and effective service delivery will only occur with meaningful political and fiscal decentralisation to state and local governmentssupported by administrative reform This needs to be done under the watchful eyes of local residents who can demand tangible accountability through electoral and direct measures Only then will the space reopen for committed economic entrepreneurship And only then will India make investments
