Why read it?
1 author picked Reflective Shadows as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a serious work of academic research that details the role of the World Bank's funding of development work in India. It is the most serious and well-researched work on the subject that I have read.

I found it especially useful for my own work on the Bank's impact on water governance in India.
