Toward an Ecologically Sustainable Agrarian Trajectory in the Indian Punjab
The attainment of a hunger-free world by 2030 requires a strengthening of the agrifood system in the Global South and particularly in India. This requires that the agrifood systems in the Global South and India should be enabled to meet the twin challenges posed by shocks induced by economic policy and climate change. The focus of our analysis is the Indian state of Punjab, which occupies a crucial place in promoting food security in India and, t…
On the political economy of corporate encroachment in agriculture
On the hoard of money and expanded reproduction
The paper incorporates the hoard of money in a simple three-department scheme of expanded reproduction. The sui-generis features of the hoard of money are briefly set out. The paper then demonstrates that due to the existence of the hoard of money, it is possible for there to be generalised over-production of all non-money commodities. The paper concludes with some suggestions for further work in this research direction.JEL classifications: B14, …
A Theoretical Consideration of the Socialist Market Economy
The recent economic experience of countries such as China, Vietnam, Laos, etc., has invoked some interest in the economic system in these countries. This economic system which is often characterised as the socialist market economy is first conceptually distinguished from a centrally planned socialist economy as well as from a market socialist economy. Then a simple macroeconomic framework of a stylised socialist market economy is set out and its …
A Macro-Theoretic Exploration of Some Covid-19 Induced Constraints on Economic Policy
The Covid-19 pandemic has spawned a crisis whose dimensions encompass the domains of health and the economy. The latter is on account of the use of non-pharmaceutical interventions such as lockdowns in order to deal with a highly contagious disease. Though some vaccines have emerged, lockdowns of varying degrees are still required since geographical coverage of vaccines is uneven, the protection afforded by vaccines is only for a finite period of…
The struggle against corporate encroachment in Indian agriculture
The repeal of the Three Farm Laws by the Union Government of India is the first consequential setback to the neoliberal project in India after 2014. The struggle was largely carried out by peasants in alliance with workers. The Left in India played a decisive role in crafting this setback to the neoliberal project by working towards the building of a tendential working alliance between peasants and workers. The popular resistance that has been en…
Covid-19 and some contours of India’s ongoing agrarian crisis
The onset of the Covid-19 pandemic has led to an aggravation of the agrarian crisis in India. The rural proletariat, poor peasants, and a section of middle peasants in India have been adversely affected. The paper advances a composite policy initiative to deal with this aggravation of the agrarian crisis involving an expansion of the existing rural employment guarantee schemes, various input subsidies to farmers, universal provision of safety gea…
A Comparative Theoretical Study of the Role of the Public Sector in China and India
The experience of developing countries such as China has many lessons for other developing countries such as India. It also has relevance for any country which seeks to ensure autonomy of national decision-making in an international economy that is often unfavorable for such a stance. The role of the public sector in China is one of the reasons why a characterization of the development trajectory of that country as being neoliberal would be unten…
On Hegemonic Narratives, and the Facts regarding China’s Response to Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has unleashed a multi-dimensional crisis that encompasses both the realm of public health and political economy. The divergences in the public health and economic policy responses among countries have resulted in an unleashing of a propaganda war. This paper is concerned with hegemonic narratives advocated by the mainstream media about China's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the facts thereof. After examining in broad …
