Need to be the perfect lady? India's motivation experts have just the course :: Self-improvement businesses enjoy boom despite national slowdown, as newly rich try to bridge cultural divideIndian economic growth may be slowing up, but there is at least one sector that is ever more successful: self-improvement. Whether it is English language classes for some of the poorest and most disadvantaged communities or Anurag Aggarwal's courses for the middle classes, nothing seems to stop the boom.On a Saturday afternoon in a conference room in a south Delhi suburb, Aggarwal is talking fluently and forcefully. In a three-piece suit with his iPad and a wireless microphone clipped to an ear, he is advising on body language, voice modulation and personality development to an audience of Indian professionals who have paid about £400 for a six-month course of one session a week."T...

British industrial policy remains plagued by the antidote fallacy :: Policy failures are attributed to incomplete revolution leading to an antidote response. Here is a better way to boost industryNot so long ago, the UK's political classes used to rubbish industrial policy as "picking winners". But these days, things have changed. As Ha Joon Chang, an economist at the University of Cambridge recently observed, with Vince Cable in the lead and the TUC and CBI in the chorus, our policy wonks and politicians are all industrial activists now.But if we are witnessing a change of faith, it's a conversion that rests on the antidote fallacy. Since 1945, the syllogism which justifies every major British policy regime change is that if strategy (a) is a dismal failure, then the opposite strategy (b) will deliver policy objectives. The definition of strategy (b) is al...

Anti-Prostitution Campaign Picks Up Speed :: In a small dingy room on the edge of a brothel in west Kolkata, capital of the eastern Indian state of West Bengal, a 42-year-old former sex worker is trying to eke out a living selling cooked food in her neighbourhood, while tending to her sick husband and a paralysed son.
Despite the hardships of everyday life, Rubiya Bibi (not her real name), who was trafficked to India from neighbouring Bangladesh when she was a teenager, knows one thing for sure – she does not want to go back to prostitution.
Recalling the days when pimps and madams would force her to sleep with men even when she was sick, Rubiya Bibi says: "Poverty forced me to prostitution. But once in the trade's vicious cycle, I faced even more atrocities.
"I was never allowed to say 'no' to those who ran the brothels....
