In a recently published book “How Lives Change: Palanpur, India and Development Economics”, authors Himanshu, Peter Lanjouw and Nicholas Stern examine data spanning seven decades, on Palanpur, a small, village in Moradabad district of Uttar Pradesh in India. Those involved lived in the village for long periods, examining society, politics and institutions as well as economics, providing a unique opportunity to examine these issues in depth.
