In Indian Planning at the Cross-Roads : Santhanam echoes Churchill's refusal to liquidate the empire — hoping the Finance Minister of India will fare better than the Prime Minister of Britain who failed to do likewise — as a rhetorical analogy for his Plan-extension proposal.
In CONTROLS IN A PLANNED ECONOMY : Shroff quotes Churchill on the corrosion of respect for law as an authoritative warning that controls inevitably create black markets and undermine the rule of law.
In Controls and Freedom : Churchill's coinage 'Queutopia' is invoked to characterise the bureaucratic control economy India built after independence, lending a vivid rhetorical label to the author's critique.
