Letter From the Editor

The last time I wrote a signed piece was in my first issue as Editor (11 September 2004); it seems appropriate then that I write one in the last edition of EPW that I edit.

The intervening years—close to 12—have been as interesting and tumultuous as any EPW has seen. The world in 2016 is very different from what it was in September 2004. At the time the United Progressive Alliance government had assumed office only a few months earlier, George Bush was in power in the United States, Facebook was just born, Twitter was yet to emerge, and China was only beginning to assert itself.
