Class and Conflict

Revisiting Pranab Bardhan's Political Economy of India
Herausgeber: Chatterjee, Elizabeth; Mccartney, Matthew

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Class and Conflict reflects on the enduring influence of Bardhan's original publication in the context of post-liberalization developments in India. The contributors to this volume engage with a wide range of issues, such as whether big business dominates India today, how subsidies retard economic growth, and how the middle classes are transforming politics. Together they try to answer the big question: what has really changed in the political and economic climate of the country over the last 30 years? It contributes to current debates on economic growth, crony capitalism, agrarian crisis, the politics of class and caste, and the role of the state in a liberalizing economy.
