The
Specific Form of Poverty under Capitalism |
|
| Jul
1st 2024, Prabhat Patnaik |
|
| Poverty
is taken to be a homogeneous phenomenon irrespective of the
mode of production that is under consideration. Even reputed
economists believe in this homogeneous conception of poverty. |

| Economic
Policy after the Elections |

25th 2024, C.P. Chandrasekhar |
|
| The
election results, which gave both the BJP and the NDA far
lower seats than they had in the previous parliament and led
to a coalition government, surprised many. But now, attention
has shifted to assessing what that would do to the behaviour
and policies in different spheres of this version of a Modi-led
government. |

How
did Agricultural output Change under the Modi
Government? |
| Jun
25th 2024. C.P. Chandrasekhar and Jayati Ghosh |
|
The
problems in agriculture have been reflected in slow growth
of agricultural output in the years since 2011-12. Within
this, the performance of particular crops and particular states
may provide some insights into why cultivators have been upset
with the Modi government. |

| Does
the Savings Decline Drive Growth? |
| Jun
12th 2024. C.P. Chandrasekhar and Jayati Ghosh |
|
In
what may appear to be a paradox, a decline in the net financial
savings of the household sector in India may be the factor
sustaining the growth it records. |

| Young
Scholars Conference Political Economy of Contemporary South
Asia |
| October
13-14, 2023 | Berkeley, United States |
|
| Jun
14th 2023. |
|
Our
key theme is the political economy of contemporary South Asia.
At the core of these transformations are the fraught and so-called
"truncated transition," where South Asian societies
are not making the transition from farm to factory, but the
rise of informal economies, industrial clusters, in-between
agrarian-urban and peri-urban spaces force us to rethink familiar
transition narratives and to eschew them in favour of more
grounded theories. |

| Budget
2023-24: Neither growth nor welfare friendly |
| Feb
8th 2023, C.P. Chandrasekhar |
|
If
we ignore the hype that accompanies and follows the presentation
of the Centre's annual budget, there are principally two
strands in it that have attracted attention.

| Budget
2023-24: Ignoring the economy's basic problem |
| Feb
6th 2023, Prabhat Patnaik |
|
The
most outstanding feature of the Indian economy today is
the sluggish increase in real consumption expenditure. Between
2019-20 and 2022-23 for instance the per capita real consumption
expenditure has grown by less than 5 per cent which is less
than the rate of growth of the gross domestic product.
