James Crabtree, Former Mumbai Bureau Chief of the Financial Times and Associate Professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy in Singapore, discusses his new book, "The Billionaire Raj: A Journey Through India’s New Gilded Age".

In the book (and in shorter form, in this talk), James offers a nuanced deep-dive into India's billionaire class, profiling the figures at the top of a society where the spoils of the world's largest democracy's growth have been particularly unequal.

Venturing deep into the shadowy heart of India’s “black-money” economy, Crabtree brings a reporter’s precision and flair to his story, arguing that the rise of the “Bollygarchs” and the takeover of Indian politics by huge sums of private money has led to a boom-and-bust cycle in India’s industrial economy.

Moderated by Arun Venkataraman.
