It's bittersweet, but I'm excited to say that an article I co-wrote with my professor in grad school has now been published as a chapter in the book International Economic Review: Post Recession Challenges and Analyses. The article was originally written for the Indian Economy Review, published May of 2011, and again in the Best of IER 2010 special issue. Now, why it was published in May of 2011 and then featured in the Best of 2010, I have no idea, but I'm pretty stoked about it either way.
I've attached a link for the article below, and my section is titled "Experience from Other Countries." Also, do me a favor, don't hold my professor's questionable English grammar against him; if you met him, you would heartily agree that he is one of the coolest guys on the planet. Kishore... Like seashore... As he would put it.

But bittersweet... And why? Because as I read my own article on the role of govt. planning in the macro economy, I realize that whoever wrote that has a ton of potential... Sky's the limit for that kid, right? And yet, I look at my situation and I cannot help but think that I continually sabotage my future.
I am not AFRAID of professional growth or development, and I am not AFRAID of success. But I won't let myself experience either, and only as I write this do I realize that the walls confining my professional and financial comfort zone are incredibly strong, and only reinforced by my consistent submission to them.
I wrote of my desire to help others that are stuck within those confines... As you can probably imagine, It's hard for me to say that I'm still stuck there myself; still in need of the same help I truly wish I could offer to others.
Any thoughts?
And thank you again for taking the time. It is, as always, greatly appreciated.
