So for the last few decades, India has been moving away from state intervention in the economy towards a liberalized market economy. "Transition and Development in India" challenges the current basis of development theories in India, laying the groundwork for an alternative, Marxist approach to transition in India. Chakrabarti and Cullenberg offer a detailed and critical study of the theories of transition in India, including debates on modes of production and subaltern studies. In doing so, they also provide an analysis of Marxist theories of development in general, ending by presenting an entirely new Marxist framework for transition that should apply not just to India, but to all developing nations. |

| Publisher Description: According to Nehru, the transition from a backward agricultural society to a modern industrialized society was the only road for India to progress. So, for the past few decades, India has focused its transitional development around movement away from a state-controlled economy toward that of a free market economy. Transition and Development in India challenges the current basis of this theory of development, laying the groundwork for an entirely new Marxist approach to transition that should apply not just to India, but to all developing nations. |
