Abstract

The paper reviews the current economic policy framework against the background of the economic policy regime up to 1985 and observes that the past experience justifies the current experiment with private markets as the principal mechanism for allocating resources. The paper argues that the visible hand of the government does have a supportive role, a lbeit a different one from the past. The new approach is considered as having great potential although ultimate success is as yet beset by various uncertainties as may be expected from any experiment.
