Indian Capitalism in Development (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Harriss-White, Barbara; Heyer, Judith

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Recognising the different ways that capitalism is theorised, this book explores various aspects of contemporary capitalism in India. It raises questions about the varieties and levels of capitalism, and about the different roles played by the state. Using field research at a local level to engage with larger issues, the book presents a comprehensive analysis of 21st century Indian capitalism. It is distinctive in its use of an interdisciplinary political economy approach and brings together scholars who have engaged with classical political economy to advance the understanding of contemporary capitalism in South Asia.
