Shroff (RARE BOOKS)","description":"\u003cp class=\"a-spacing-none a-text-normal\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArdeshir Darabshaw Shroff (1899-1965), eminent industrialist, banker and economist, is considered one of the architects of free India's industrial development and modernization. Among the earliest exponents of free enterprise in India, Shroff, once called a ‘Congress economist', represented the country as a non-official delegate at the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference and was an author of the Bombay Plan, prepared by eight leading industrialists in 1944 as a blueprint for India's post-war economy. Later, in the fifties, as founder-director of the Investment Corporation of India, Chairman of Bank of India and the New India Assurance Company, and director of Tatas and many other leading companies, he became a powerful spokesman for private industry in an increasingly government regulated economy. His steadfast adherence to a vision of free enterprise in India has been vindicated thirty-five years later by the liberalization policies pursued in the nineties.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Best of used books","offers":[{"title":"Used","offer_id":44274691637505,"sku":"2R3EG6DC1-Used","price":499.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/4299\/0495\/products\/A.D.SHROFFSUCHETADALAL.jpg?v=1657881207","url":"https:\/\/bestofusedbooks.com\/products\/a-d-shroff","provider":"Best Of Used Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
