The study of wage levels and the purchasing power of wages is often
viewed as a specialized academic topic of little concern to the
wider public. This is far from being the case, as this book
demonstrates. The study of wages opens up vistas of the daily life
of the working people, of their standards of living and, therefore,
addresses questions of larger economic developments and unequal
power relationships in a region. Wage Earners in India 1500-1900:
Regional Approaches in an International Context brings together
several scholars-young and veteran-to study new data and
reinterpret older data from a fresh methodological perspective to
locate India within global economic systems more effectively. This
book * identifies previously unused and unpublished material for
the study of wages * underlines the importance of wages as a source
of income for Indians from early times * demonstrates the trends in
wages over the period under review * stresses the need to take
women into account for the reconstruction of household income
