Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Over two decades of the neo-liberal policies have further intensified our chronic poverty and imposed a severe livelihood crisis on nearly one billion socially excluded Indians. The project wholesale globalization has become its own victim as seen in massive and unsustainable current account deficit, reckless inflation, decline of the external value of the Rupee and loss of confidence by the foreign investors in India policy regime. Even India's own companies are happier investing abroad than in India. The irony is enhanced as a way-out of the blind alley has been sought in throwing open even the retail trade sector to displacement investment by the biggest MNC retailers. We have succumbed to their lobbying and the entire policy space has been spread before them to freely write the policy script by way of pre-conditions for entry and subsequent regulation. It is a sad story of going beyond free markets and self-regulation. It robs the adversely included scores of millions of Indian penny capitalist small traders and hawkers of their toehold in the economy. Thus the global super rich, the 0.1 percent at the top, have subverted both our 'democracy and development', courtesy cronies in government and the Indian corporate houses. The wooing of FDI in retail on the latter's terms is nothing but a case of self-goal. The book examines this question in a broad socio-economic and political framework and shows how the neo-liberal establishment considers no price too high to accomplish its partisan agenda. Debunking the TINA syndrome, the book advances some alternatives to the disastrous policy of opening up retail trade to the most nefarious retail MNCs.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. For over a quarter century now, Indian society has become a battleground for competitive neoliberal policies by successive political regimes. As a result, notwithstanding the formal democratic system and the stated pursuit of socially inclusive economic growth, the present-day Indian political economy seems to be characterised by the interplay of plutocracy, cronyism and populism. Little wonder the country is facing a grim spectacle of unprecedented multi-faceted disparities and adverse inclusion of the masses in the socio-economic and political process. This is reflected in a shockingly small number of the entitled citizens who manage to get a place in the organised sector of the national economy while a many times larger number of the dispossessed and discriminated persons manage to survive with marginal, irregular and inadequate access to sub-human levels of living by their sheer grit, ingenuity and willingness to make downward adjustments to what their adverse inclusion forces on them. Expectedly, the masters of economic growth and democratic management of the neoliberal development discourse and governance amass enormous family fortunes and secure places in the power structure for a number of their future generations. All these widely noticed, but equally callously neglected, aspects of India's democracy form dominant parts of the discourse on India's economic growth and the accompanying despondency, though luckily, with some rays of hope here and there. What the Indian Political Economy Association presents in this volume is inspired by the hope and belief that these analyses may possibly form parts of the rays of hope for a major part of one billion plus people who call themselves Indians in the 21st Century.…
