Oommen: A Profile/Ash Narain Roy. Index. Bringing together essays critical in contemporary development discourse, this volume addresses the broad themes of development as freedom, equality and human ascent within the framework of democracy and decentralised governance. The first seven essays interrogate and critique the ideas of democracy, development and its translation into the pursuit of growth that is market driven and measured exclusively in terms of GNP. They search for possible, more inclusive reconceptualisations of development . The other seven look at issues like primary education, food security, metropolitan finance, caste and gender parity, technology as freedom, decentralisation and innovation in governance in particular, the Kerala model of development, Latin American experiments in democracy and China s growth story-all of which offer valuable comparisons and lessons for India and the world. Eclectic in their range of concerns, perspectives and insights, the common thread binding the essays is the accent on human development and social inclusion-a fitting tribute to developmental economist Professor M. A. Oommen whose influential writings and teachings reflect a lifelong commitment to equity. With contributions by well known economists from India and abroad, this volume will be useful for students and scholars of economics and development studies, finance, public policy, governance and sociology.…

Rare large Official White House color photograph of President Richard Nixon and his cabinet, signed by the President, Vice President Gerald Ford, and sixteen members of his cabinet. The full-length group portrait, taken by a White House photographer, shows the President and his cabinet standing in a row in the Oval Office, each having signed vertically in the image above his or her portrait. Those signing are President Richard Nixon, Vice President Gerald Ford, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Secretary of the Treasury George Shultz, Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger, Attorney General William B. Saxbe, Secretary of the Interior Rogers Morton, Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz, Secretary of Commerce Frederick B. Dent, Secretary of Labor Peter J. Brennan, Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare Caspar Weinberger, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development James T. Lynn, Secretary of Transportation Claude Brinegar, Budget Director Roy Ash, Counselors Bryce Harlow, Melvin Laird, and Anne L. Armstrong, and United Nations Ambassador John A. Scali, lacking only the signature of Postmaster General E. T. Klassen. Triple matted and framed. In near fine condition with some fading to the signatures of Ford, Dent, and Ash, some fading to the image, a few scattered minor creases. The entire piece measures 21 inches by 17 inches. A remarkable record of the Nixon cabinet in the final months of his presidency, uniting the signatures of the president, his future successor, and his cabinet on a single official White House image. Richard Nixon (1913-1994), the thirty-seventh President of the United States, assembled this cabinet in the final, embattled period of his presidency, as the Watergate scandal closed in around him. The photograph is doubly historic for including Vice President Gerald Ford, whom Nixon had appointed to replace the disgraced Spiro Agnew in December 1973 and who would succeed to the presidency upon Nixon?s resignation in August 1974, becoming the only person ever to serve as president without having been elected to either the presidency or the vice presidency. Among the signers are Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger, and Treasury Secretary George Shultz, figures who shaped American policy through one of the most turbulent chapters in the nation?s modern history.…
