To people operating in India's economy, actually existing markets
are remarkably different from how planners and academics conceive
them. From the outside, they appear as demarcated arenas of
exchange bound by state-imposed rules. As historical and social
realities, however, markets are dynamic, adaptative, and ambiguous
spaces. This book delves into this intricate context, exploring
Indian markets through the competition and collaboration of those
who frame and participate in markets. Anchored in vivid case
studies - from colonial property and advertising milieus to today's
bazaar and criminal economies - this volume underlines the friction
and interdependence between commerce, society, and state.
Contributors from history, anthropology, political economy, and
development studies synthesize existing scholarly approaches, add
new perspectives on Indian capitalism's evolution, and reveal the
transactional specificities that underlie the real-world
functioning of markets.
