The
Enterprise of Education: Challenges and Opportunities for India,
by James Tooley (2001,
40 pages, Rs 40/- for delivery within India, and US $
5/- for delivery outside of India. inclusive of postage) Prof.
Tooley says, "my work in India has made it even more difficult
to find a sound answer to the question: why should government
intervene in education? The assumption that only government
intervention will help ensure educational equality, seems most
untenable given the Indian experience." (Occasional Paper No.

When
Politics Kills: Malaria and the DDT Debate, by
Richard Tren and Roger Bate. (2001, 90 pages, Rs 75/-
for delivery within India, and US $ 10/- for delivery
outside of India, inclusive of postage) The authors warn that
preoccupations of the rich in western countries often result
in inappropriate and unaffordable solutions being imposed
on poor countries. The classic example of this phenomenon
is the current attempt by western governments to ban globally
the pesticide DDT. But although DDT can be environmentally
harmful, it is still required for malaria control in some
developing countries. Furthermore, since it is only sprayed
indoors it is unlikely to cause any environmental problem
at all, and will save thousands of lives. (Occasional Paper
