Marxian Analysis of Capitalism and Crises
The subject of economics, which was once famous for several views and schools of thought, has been limited to just one school neoclassical: where markets usually find equilibrium, meaning government intervention is not needed, and any such intervention could hinder the economic growth process and smooth functioning of the economy. The neoclassical theory focuses on the behaviour of individual agents, which are assumed to be economic decision-make…
One Belt and One Road, China’s Massive Infrastructure Project to Boost Trade and Economy: An Overview
The ‘One Belt One Road’ is essentially a transport route, but as a trade corridor it also incorporates industrial zones, gas pipelines, power plants, seaports and airports. The proposed trade routes also include some of the least trade-integrated countries of the world such as Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Pakistan, as well as more developed economies such as Russia and Europe. Increased infrastructure facilities in these regions will mean…
The Political Economy of Essence of Money and Recent Development
This paper attempts to examine the essence of money theory and the mainstream interpretation of money and the financial crisis of 2008. In order to understand the financial crisis, it is important to analyse both classical and Marx's commodity money theory. This study is important because in recent decades the rapid expansion of financial sectors, ballooning of debts and spectacular growth of fictitious capital requires a deep analysis of the cap…
David Ricardo’s Comparative Advantage and Developing Countries: Myth and Reality
This article examines David Ricardo’s trade theory, which emphasises that if protection is removed, resources would be expected to move away from high cost to low cost products and as a result productivity would rise. His comparative advantage trade theory advocates in favour of a free trade, the argument implied generally to defend laissez faire. This study aims to critically analyse the theoretical and empirical basis for trade liberalisation. …

It argues that the Bolshevik Revolution and its leaders, especially V. I. Lenin should be recognised as making a major contribution to the anti-colonial struggle and the fight to achieve equality in the community of world of nations. This article then points out how Lenin has provided assist…
Will the Growth of the BRICs Cause a Shift in the Global Balance of Economic Power in the 21st Century
Some 42% of the world’s population (i.e., 3 billion people) live in Brazil, Russia, India, and China, collectively known as BRICs. Of these four, India and Brazil also have a higher than average birth rate. The combined economy of the BRICs made up 25.6% of the global GDP in 2015 and has been projected to increase to 33% by 2020. Studying the BRICs economies is important for a number of reasons, including their rapid economic growth rates, large …
Trade Liberalization and Economic Development: A Critical Review
This article examines the literature on trade liberalization and economic development. It also briefly looks at the theory of comparative advantage which is seen as justification for global trade liberalization under the auspices of the World Trade Organization. The study is important because once again the international institutions strongly advocate trade liberalization in the developing countries. Such policies may increase vulnerability and m…
The political economy of growth in China and India
This paper attempts to examine the growth performance and its impact on inequality and poverty in China and India. The recent upsurge in growth rates in China and India is seen widely as the ‘success’ story of globalization. It is also claimed that these developments will make a significant impact on the reduction of global inequalities and poverty. Although a number of scholars have analysed the recent economic performance of China and India, th…
Credit and Marketing of Sugarcane: A Field Study of Two Villages in Western Uttar Pradesh
The aim of this study is to examine sugarcane cultivating peasants frorn two villages1 in Muzaffarnagar in western Uttar Pradesh, India, in order to investigate the access to credit and markets. This is an attempt to analyse the impact of new technology and the developrnent of capitalist relations in Indian agriculture. On the basis of a differentiated peasantry we have noted what the differential dynamics of commercialisation entails for differe…
