Seema Says | Cockroaches, Not a 'World' Cup and What BJP Is Doing in Punjab
Why is Seema reading a book on camera? Why is everyone asking Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan to resign? Why are football fans so upset about this World Cup? And what's the BJP's plan in Punjab? The Wire's Editor Seema Chishti fields these questions from Jahnavi Sen in this episode of Seema Says.
Seema's recommendations:
2. 'Why China Got Rich and India Didn’t', by David Oks. ”But China’s explosive growth wasn’t simply a matter of “freeing the markets,” reducing the role of the state, and announcing that it was now glorious to get rich; nor was it simply a matter of government intervention to support the manufacturing sector and subsidies for favored companies. China succeeded because it spent decades on the basics of human development and social modernization. India did not. The rest is just commentary.”
3. Joe Sacco: The Once and Future Riot. The book not getting an Indian edition, though it was supposed to, as publishers said it has a map which is objectionable.
Jahnavi's recommendation:
Empire of AI by Karen Hao and https://airesistlist.org/.
