Contradictions and Crisis in the World of Work
The severe economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global working population can be interpreted as both a fallout from, and a violent assertion of, a larger crisis in the world of work. While this crisis has been attributed to the pre-existing conditions of widespread informality and precarity in the domain of remunerative work, the authors of this article dig deeper to read these conditions and the crisis tendencies as articulations of c…
Of Disasters, Status, and Health
This paper examines if socioeconomic status can explain the way health is affected from exposure to environmental extremes. The paper starts with the hypothesis that deficits in health in the event of a disaster may overlap with deficits in achieved and ascribed social status at the time of the disaster event. To test this hypothesis, the paper draws upon a rich dataset from flood-devastated Bangladesh, and describes disease incidences across var…

Creative destruction
This article explores the notion of 'creative destruction' in analyzing the effects of riverine floods on agricultural productivity in Bangladesh. It examines the monthly data on crop productivity for 1978–2000 in Bangladesh, to argue that, while severe flooding may cause decline in agricultural yield rate in disaster months, they may also provide open-access irrigational input that lead to significant increases in post-flood productivity.

Effect of Flood on Agricultural Wages in Bangladesh
Flood Disasters and Agricultural Wages in Bangladesh
This article examines the effects of abnormal floods on agricultural wages in Bangladesh. Drawing upon the district-wise monthly real wage data for the period 1979-2000, it shows that wages decline sharply in the regions that are severely inundated for a long period of time. Wages may remain depressed in these regions even in the post-flood months. However, wages increase in the flood months in the regions that remain submerged for short duration…
