Best of BS Opinion: Next steps for GST, the ideas of economists & more

T T Ram Mohan talks of the contributions of C Rangarajan, the economist and administrator.

Ajay Srivastava: The EU’s carbon tax is set to shake up world trade, but through careful preparation, India can turn this to its advantage

The first edit says GST has been a success but more needs to be done, such as ringing up greater revenue. The second edit deplores the way the office of governor has been demeaned.
