Halting
the March of Fascism in Europe |
|
| Jul
15th 2024, Prabhat Patnaik |
|
| The
coming to power of governments led by fascists is either a
reality or a threat today over large parts of the world. In
Europe at present there are several countries where fascists
are leading governments; France was on the verge of being
added to this list, in which case it would have been the second
major European power, after Italy, to have a fascist government. |

| Jul
9th 2024. C.P. Chandrasekhar and Jayati Ghosh |

that only recently overcame its bad loan problem. |

| How
did Agricultural output Change under the Modi Government? |
| Jun

|
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. |

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. |

of the Centre's annual budget, there are principally two
strands in it that have attracted attention.

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.
