It would be difficult for all Indians to forget 8 November 2016, the day on which 86 per cent of the currency in circulation was invalidated in one blow under the premise of demonetisation. The move was heralded to tackle black money, terror funding and fake currencies. No other event created so much furor, chaos or for that matter the spate of jokes, satires and debates on the merits of the move to tackle the said objectives. Black money is a matter of concern only in the context of fiscal policies which could be good policies . This book is an attempt to carry out a post-mortem analysis of the so-called surgical strike of demonetisation through illustrations and case studies that would unfold the mystery behind the move.
