The article makes an important distinction that is often missed in public debate. Reducing poverty and creating prosperity are related but different goals. India has made substantial progress in lifting people out of extreme deprivation, but escaping poverty is only the first step. The next stage requires helping people accumulate wealth, improve productivity, access better education, and move into higher-income jobs. Countries that successfully made this transition focused heavily on human capital and industrial development. India's next twenty-five years may be judged less by how many people leave poverty and more by how many enter the middle class.
