Ritanjan Das

Neoliberalism and the Transforming Left in India (eBook, PDF)

A contradictory manifesto

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a reappraisal of the political economic history of the CPIM/Left Front regime against the backdrop of the Indian reform experience. It examines two distinct areas: the conditions that necessitated the regime to engineer a transition from an erstwhile agricultural-based growth model to a more pro-market economic agenda post-1991, and the political strategy employed to manage such a transition, attract private capital and at the same time sustain the regime's traditional rhetoric and partisan character.
