Recognising the different ways that capitalism is theorised, this
book explores various aspects of contemporary capitalism in India.
Using field research at a local level to engage with larger issues,
it raises questions about the varieties and processes of
capitalism, and about the different roles played by the state. With
its focus on India, the book demonstrates the continuing relevance
of the comparative political economy of development for the
analysis of contemporary capitalism. Beginning with an exploration
of capitalism in agriculture and rural development, it goes on to
discuss rural labour, small town entrepreneurs, and technical
change and competition in rural and urban manufacturing,
highlighting the relationships between agricultural and
non-agricultural firms and employment. An analysis of processes of
commodification and their interaction with uncommodified areas of
the economy makes use of the 'knowledge economy' as a case study.
Other chapters look at the political economy of energy as a driver
of accumulation in contradiction with both capital and labour, and
at how the political economy of policy processes regulating energy
highlights the fragmentary nature of the Indian state. Finally, a
chapter on the processes and agencies involved in the export of
wealth argues that this plays a crucial role in concealing the
exploitation of labour in India. Bringing together scholars who
have engaged with classical political economy to advance the
understanding of contemporary capitalism in South Asia, and
distinctive in its use of an interdisciplinary political economy
approach, the book will be of interest to students and scholars of
South Asian Politics, Political Economy and Development Studies.
