Comparisons between China and India abound. However, the usual comparisons arebased on the GDP growth rates, exports, or FDI etc., and thus have not taken us analyticallyfar. An appreciation of the so far understated dissimilarities between the two economies,especially the social settings in which they work, would not only help in understanding betterthe nature of profound transformation that the both are going through, but would enhanceour theoretical understanding of other developing/transitional economies as well.
