As author of the hugely influential The Economic History of
India 1857-1947, Tirthankar Roy has established himself as the
leading contemporary economic historian of India. Here, Roy turns
his attention to labour and livelihood and the nature of economic
change in the Subcontinent. This book covers:
- economic history of modern India
- rural labour
- labour-intensive industrialization
- women and industrialization.
Challenging the prevailing wisdom on Indian economic growth -
that it is bound up with Marxian, postcolonial class analysis - Roy
formulates a new view. Commercialization, surplus labour and
uncertainty are seen as equally important and the end result
reconciles the increasingly opposed view of economists and
historians.
