<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">We are pleased to announce the publication of
"Political Economy of Financial Systems: Korean and Indian Experiences in
Retrospect" by Jitendra Uttam. This timely analysis explores financial
stability in the wake of pandemic-era economic fluctuations. The book,
published by <a href="https://www.cambridgescholars.com/product/978-1-0364-1249-4" style="color:rgb(70,120,134);text-decoration-line:underline" target="_blank">Cambridge
Scholars Publishing</a>, examines the contrasting outcomes of similar financial
systems in South Korea and India, challenging conventional thinking on
liberalisation and deregulation. The book argues that financial efficiency
depends not only on structure but also on the broader political-economic
context. Drawing on the historical experiences of these two Asian nations, the
book provides valuable insights into the complex interplay of politics,
economics, and financial stability. The book can also be found at <a href="https://books.google.co.in/books/about/Political_Economy_of_Financial_Systems.html?id=Zz5CEQAAQBAJ&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false" style="color:rgb(70,120,134);text-decoration-line:underline" target="_blank">google
