In Mint, on-line now and in print on Monday, I argue that Piketty's prescription that India should reduce inequality is the wrong policy priority for India at this time. The fight at this time must be against poverty -- a matter of absolute deprivation -- not inequality, a matter of relative deprivation, and that can only be accomplished by focusing on achieving a high and sustainable growth rate.
