It also influenced the historiography of colonialism and India’s economic polices after independence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this, the second volume in the Debates in Indian history and society series, two contexts to this engagement are explored-India’s subordinate colonial status, and the creation and ordering of the set of markets, institutions, relations, and ideas that constituted the world economy. Contemporary and historical analyses have tended to privilege the former. But as G Balachandran argues in his introduction, it is essential to repair the neglect of the latter context. This will allow for a better understanding of the pasts of our globalized present, as well as of the conjoined histories of the modern British empire and the world economy. Thus while some essays consider India’s position as a colonial economy, other essays shift the discussion towards a wider focus on the interweaving and mutually-reinforcing contexts of colonialism and contemporary globalization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlong with recounting traditional debates, this volume also offers refreshing new perspectives on an important field of historical enquiry that is of great contemporary relevance.

Amartya Sen and Jean Dreze explore the economic, social, and political roots of deprivation in the modern world, and the role of public action in addressing this problem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePoverty and Famines, first published in 1981, is Sen's classic exposition of the entitlement approach to the analysis of hunger and deprivation. This approach focuses on the ability of a person to acquire food and other relevant commodities within the prevailing economic, social and legal arrangements. The implications of this approach are illustrated through detailed case studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Hunger and Public Action, the focus shifts from the causation of hunger and famines to their prevention. The central theme here is that public action has a crucial role to play in eradicating famines as well as endemic hunger. This study also explores related issues such as the strategy of famine prevention, the connections between economic growth and public support, class and gender conflicts, and the role of adversarial politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndian: Economic Development and Social Opportunity builds on this conceptual framework to discuss India's achievements and failures since independence.

But the Indian economy and society have also moved on, and it seems right, seven years after the last manuscript went to print, to look back and take stock. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book explores the role of public action in eliminating deprivation and expanding human freedoms in India.  The analysis is based on a broad and integrated view of development, which focuses on well-being and freedom rather than the standard indicators of economic growth. The authors place human agency at the center of stage, and stress the complementary roles of different institutions (economic, social, and political) in enhancing effective freedoms. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn comparative international perspective, the Indian economy has done reasonably well in the period following the economic reforms initiated in the early nineties. However, relatively high aggregate economic growth coexists with the persistence of endemic deprivation and deep social failures. Jean Drèze and Amartya Sen relate this imbalance to the continued neglect, in the post-reform period, of public involvement in crucial fields such as basic education, health care, social security, environmental protection, gender equity, and civil rights, and also to the imposition of new burdens such as the accelerated expansion of military expenditure. Further, the authors link these distortions of public priorities with deep-seated inequalities of social influence and political power. The book discusses the possibility of addressing these biases through more active democratic practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Tables\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION AND APPROACH\u003cbr\u003e1.

Not a day goes by without impassioned authors and activists, whether anti-or pro-globalization, putting their oars into these agitated waters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen all is said, however, we lack a clear, coherent and comprehensive sense of how globalization works, and how it might be made to work better. Enter Jagdish Bhagwati, the internationally renowned economist, known equally for the clarity of his arguments and the sharpness of his pen. In this book, Bhagwati takes on globalization’s critics, using sound economic principles and vivid examples rather than inflamed rhetoric, to show that globalizations is in fact the most powerful force for social good in the world today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBhagwati explains why the Gotcha examples are often not as they seem-that in fact globalization often alleviates many of the problems for which it has been blamed. Bhagwati carefully explains the fallacies that underlie many of the critics’ arguments, suggesting that there is a good reason why most globalization protesters come from rich rather than poor countries. Exploring globalization’s human face in great detail, Bhagwati demonstrates its beneficial effects on a panoply of social issues including poverty, child labor, women’s rights, democracy, wage and labor standards, and the environment. He concludes that by focusing so much on globalizations purported evils, we are missing the opportunity to focus on accelerating its achievements while coping with its downsides.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOften controversial and always compelling, Jagdish Bhagwati here provides at last a book that cuts through the noise on this most contentious issue, showing that globalization is part of the solution, not part of the problem.

However, this requires a prior comprehension of the nature, causes, and consequences of globalization. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe key underlying concern in this volume is the lesson that the evolution and contemporary structuring of globalization holds for developing countries. Cast within the overall conceptual framework of international relations theory, it explores how the process of globalization still remains truncated -basically confined to the 'triad' of the US, Europe, and Japan. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Baldev Raj Nayar, the explanation for both the advance of contemporary globalization and its 'truncated' nature lies in geopolitics. Indeed, the volume is distinctive for its underlining the central role that geopolitics has played in the contemporary structuring of globalization, focusing specially on the US as the hegemonic power along with its European allies-the regime makers' in the modern-day international system. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book operates on a vast theoretical and empirical canvas. It informs readers on the nature of globalization and the role of markets and geopolitics. It then applies its finds to the understanding of developmental success in the original 'Asian tigers', the Southeast Asian nations, and China. Its treatment of India and Pakistan is noteworthy for its illumination of the contrast between the two countries in the interaction of geopolitics and economic policy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContemporary and insightful, this book will be of interest to scholars of politics and international relations, and economics as well as to journalists, policy planners and the informed general reader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREVIEW\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBaldev Raj Nayar has long been an insightful observer of comparative and international politics. In this book he fixes his gaze on globalization, and presents a political thesis to explain what is widely viewed as a primarily economic phenomenon. He argues, first of all, that the recent round of globalization is very different from the economic integration seen earlier in world history. Second, and more critically, he contends that geopolitics has been a driving force in the way globalization has evolved.

The study focuses on four countries-Bangladesh, Myanmar, Vietnam and Iran-about which there exists a considerable information gap in the public domain.

Such an effort is crucial, given the uniqueness of white-collar jobs relocation, particularly in the uncharted context of a fast-globalizing new world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmidst the rhetoric about globalization and sweatshops lies a far more complex challenge to American white-collar jobs, a force that is remaking the world. While Americans fret about cheap labor abroad, the real issue has become not one of lower price but quality and scale-India is on the move to outmaneuver its US competitors on a stunning array of fronts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs more and more U S firms turn to India, outsourcing has begun to shake the foundations of the American upper middleclass. In a twist that highlights the new era, Americans are now even beginning to select India as the place for quality medical care, at a much better price.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeanwhile, as author Ashutosh Sheshabalaya explains, India itself is undergoing a remarkable transformation as its middle class sells to become larger than the entire US population.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRising elephant shows that the roots of job relocation are deep, dating back to the 1980s and early 1990s, and have become entangled within a complex set of new, fast-moving economic and geopolitical equations. As a result, moves to cap the process will be short-lived, especially with higher-value technology jobs. This structural shift is being masked by new, low-wage jobs and under-employment in the West-at least for now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAwareness about such a rising tide has been handicapped, firstly by the frenzy of the dotcom Boom years, and more importantly, by hugely out-of-date perceptions about India-the principal driver of white-collar job relocation. The author squarely addresses such misperceptions and explains India’s changing place in a world it has begun to reshape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAUTHOR’S NOTE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003eLeviathan’s Veil: Eight Myths Concealing the Rising Elephant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 1\u003cbr\u003eHeralding the New, New Economy-Another Giant Sucking Sound\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 2\u003cbr\u003eFrom Backoffice to Biotech-How the Elephant is Playing to Win\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 3\u003cbr\u003eA Rising Software Titan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 4\u003cbr\u003eThe Definite Smell of Curry-How India Spiced Up America’s Hot Industry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 5\u003cbr\u003eThe Elephant’s Mounting Weight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 6\u003cbr\u003eBack to the Future-The Indian Context\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 7\u003cbr\u003eLinking Here and There-Boom to Bust\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 8\u003cbr\u003ePreparing America for the New Age of Globalization\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNOTES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINDEX\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Ashutosh Sheshabalaya \/ Macmillan \/ Paperback","offer_id":40776343224489,"sku":"14926","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/14926_27df5a5b-d0eb-4d3b-addb-68e5a60c36e9.jpg?v=1625525034"},{"product_id":"14946-essays-on-development-strategy-regional-disparities-and-centre-state-financial-relations-in-india","title":"Essays on Development Strategy, Regional Disparities and Centre-State Financial Relations in India","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: C H  Hanumantha Rao\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Academic Foundation\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2005\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 335\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 8171884180\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe present volume brings together author's papers on the three related themes, viz, Development Strategy, Regional Disparities in Development and Centre-State Financial Relations in India.

It challenges readers to think about why some countries are rich, while others are poor. It explores alternative thinking about important economic, practical and philosophical matters. The variety of ideas will challenge readers to ponder, question, and engage in meaningful discussions. Underlying all this is the respect for, and tolerance of, the individual.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince 1980, Ken has been writing economic commentaries for radio. Straight commentary from an academic economist was dry and uninteresting. He thought he would spice up these radio spots with fantasy dialogues. Friends were willing to perform with him, and so Jonathan Gullible was born.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImmediately, interest among listeners soared! The ideas were provocative and outlandish, yet they drove home hard-core free market ideas in a humorous way. Later, he enlisted a dozen friends as actors to produce the episodes as a dramatic series. Again it was a hit! Since then The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible: A Free Market Odyssey has been used for radio broadcasts, discussion groups, essay contests, skits and theatrical productions around the globe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach chapter, except the first, starts with a short \"parable\" about Jonathan Gullible and his encounters with the strange laws of an island and its inhabitants. The story highlights the absurdities of the laws, the controls imposed on people's lives, and the economic drawbacks of these laws. The laws are recognisable as common to countries throughout the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the story unfolds, the part we play in political decision-making and personal responsibility is introduced for discussion. There are many subtle nuances. Sometimes people miss the meaning of a story, so each parable is followed by commentaries and relevant background information. These commentaries are meant to provide only the gist of each issue. Books and websites are recommended for further research. They will be particularly useful for projects and debates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuestions following each chapter are guidelines for group discussions about self-responsibility and life skills that will arouse an interest in the areas of sociology, macroeconomics, philosophy, political science and ethics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTeachers are warned that the book contains chapters that are critical of contemporary education systems. We feel that students should not be shielded from hard questions about schooling. Rather, we should trust students to take a hard look at the circumstances that are most familiar to them. Indeed, these chapters are typically the most popular with students.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAvailable in more than 30 languages, this widely acclaimed book has received numerous awards.

equity, and prosperity to its citizens, this volume brings together essays by noted scholar-activist Madhu Purnima Kishwar on enduring issues such as rights, governance, and the impact of globalization on the average Indian citizen. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volume covers a range of issues from a glimpse of the License-Permit-Raid Raj as it affects the livelihood of the self-employed poor, to a critique of India's farm and economic policies. It further discusses the new divides being created by the country's language policy to the causes and possible remedies for ethnic conflicts in India.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA common thread running through all essays is how most of India's contemporary problems arise out of malgovernance, the choice of inappropriate policies, and a lack of accountability in government that adversely affects the people of India, depresses their incomes, and makes it difficult for ordinary hard working citizens to earn a simple livelihood without payoffs and suffering numerous humiliations. Kishwar argues that the poor need economic freedom far more urgently than the rich and builds a case for a bottom-up agenda of economic reforms. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChallenging the critics of globalization, the volume demonstrates how, if India participates actively and intelligently in the WTO, this will open far-reaching opportunities for the farm sector as well as its industries.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhile acknowledging that the current trade regime is biased in favour of powerful industrialized nations, Kishwar points to entrenched assumptions and positions taken by those she calls the Anti-Globalization Brigade who claim that liberalization and globalization are intrinsically anti-Third World and anti-poor. Written in a lucid and engaging style, this book will draw a wide readership among scholars across disciplines, in addition to activists, journalists, policy-makers, bureaucrats, and the lay reader.\u003cbr\u003eStudents and scholars of politics, sociology, anthropology, history, as well as journalists, activists and general readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREVIEWS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMadhu Kishwar always makes for refreshing reading-style as well as substance. Much damage has been done to Indian economic policy-making by bleeding hearts, one manifestation being what she calls the anti-Globalization Brigade (AGB). The volume argues that without the government’s heavy hand, the lot of the poor would have been better. For those who know about Kishwar’s work on rickshaw-pullers and vendors, and those who don’t, this book makes for compelling reading.\u003cbr\u003e-Bibek Debroy\u003cbr\u003eRajiv Gandhi Institute of Contemporary Studies, New Delhi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne does not have to agree with Madhu Kishwar to recognize that she is one of India’s most independent-minded activist-scholars, unrestrained by political and academic correctness. Her distinctive take on the Indian predicament today revolves around a spirited rejection of the Statism that informs the opposition to globalization among most political formations in India, and a defiant plea to decentralize Indian politics to take advantage of the possibilities that globalization opens up for India’s poor.\u003cbr\u003e-Ashis Nandy\u003cbr\u003eCentre for the Study of Developing Societies, Delhi\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eACKNOWLEDGEMENTS \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLaws, Liberty, and Livelihood: Economic Warfare against Rickshaw Owners and Pullers \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlackmail, Bribes, and Beatings: Licence-Quota-Raid Raj for Street Vendors \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCutting our Own Lifeline: A Review of India's Farm Policy\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCaptive People, Free Trade?: Human Rights and National Boundaries \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNaukri as Property: Causes and Cures for Corruptions in Government \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Half Step Forward: The Thwarting of Economic Reforms in India \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Nature's Call is a Crime: Breakdown of Conflict Resolution of Mechanisms in India \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSymbols of Mental Slavery: Of Toilets, Tubs, and Drains \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDestroying Minds and Skills: The Dominance of Angreziyat in our Education \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYours Nationally \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeyond For or Against: Unexplored Complexities of India's Reservation Policy \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarks, Merit, and Competence: Are Reservations Inherently Anti-Efficiency \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMajoritarianism vs Minoritarianism: Hindu-Muslim Relations in Post-Independence India \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn Agenda for India: The Speech We Deserved to Hear on August 15\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Madhu Purnima Kishwar \/ Oxford University Press \/ Hardcover","offer_id":40776344502441,"sku":"14968","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/14968_888e0bae-3e6e-4247-b2b2-8fd497d69197.jpg?v=1625568368"},{"product_id":"14969-political-economy-of-federalism-in-india","title":"Political Economy of Federalism in India","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: M Govinda Rao\u003cbr\u003eNirvikar Singh\/\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2005\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 422\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 0195670175\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe failure of the centralized state, both in economic and political governance, has swung the pendulum in favour of decentralized systems across the globe in recent years.

Sen uses the discipline of social choice theory (a subject he has helped to develop) to illuminate the demands of reason and the assessment of freedom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREVIEWS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRationality and Freedom is a striking tribute to its author, eminently reasonable in its conclusions and driven by a passion for human freedom in its widest sense.\u003cbr\u003e-Outlook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Masterstroke, Not only did Sen rescue Welfare Economics, he put the fizz back into the dream of Social Choice System that’s both efficient and equitable, This book, is gratifying not just for the value of the proposition made by one of the foremost thinkers of our times, but also for the warm compassion that makes itself felt so uniquely\u003cbr\u003e-Business Today\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThose seeking, to simultaneously engage social philosophy and economic theory will be delighted by this lucid and though-provoking book.\u003cbr\u003e-The Financial Express\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePREFACE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART I: GENERAL INTRODUCTIONS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Rationality and Freedom\u003cbr\u003eThe Possibility of Social Choice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART II: RATIONALITY: FORM AND SUBSTANCE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInternal Consistency of Choice\u003cbr\u003eMaximization and the Act of Choice\u003cbr\u003eGoals, Commitment, and Identity\u003cbr\u003eRationality and uncertainty\u003cbr\u003eNon-Binary Choice and Preference\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART III: RATIONALITY AND SOCIAL CHOICE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRationality and Social Choice\u003cbr\u003eIndividual Preference as the Basis of Social Choice\u003cbr\u003eSocial Choice and Justice\u003cbr\u003eInformation and Invariance in Normative Choice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART IV: LIBERTY AND SOCIAL CHOICE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLiberty and Social Choice\u003cbr\u003eMinimal Liberty\u003cbr\u003eRights: Formulation and Consequences\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART V: PERSPECTIVES AND POLICIES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePositional Objectivity\u003cbr\u003eOn the Darwinian View of Progress\u003cbr\u003eMarkets and Freedom\u003cbr\u003eEnvironment Evaluation and Social Choice\u003cbr\u003eThe Discipline of Cost-Benefit Analysis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART VI: FREEDOM AND SOCIAL CHOICE: THE ARROW LECTURES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroductory Remarks\u003cbr\u003eOpportunities and Freedoms\u003cbr\u003eProcesses, Liberty and Rights\u003cbr\u003eFreedom and the Evaluation of Opportunity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNAME INDEX\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSUBJECT INDEX\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Amartya Sen \/ Oxford University Press \/ Paperback","offer_id":40776377237673,"sku":"17100","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/17100_01783110-9fdd-46eb-95c5-46ece8801f7f.jpg?v=1625569382"}],"url":"https:\/\/indiaclub.com\/collections\/economy.oembed?page=9","provider":"The India Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
