    Opponents of austerity have no reason to love a couple of high powered economists who seem to be on a mission to convince senior politicians everywhere that too much debt is seriously bad for a country's prospects.

    The RBI view of India's macro challenges

    In a fascinating speech Duvvuri Subbarao, the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) talked about the RBI's perspective on the macro economic challenges facing India.
