|
| The
current protests in US university campuses demanding "divestment"
from firms linked to Israel's military machine, are reminiscent
of the protests that had swept these campuses in the late
sixties and early seventies demanding an end to the Vietnam
war. |

|
| Each
strand of political praxis is informed by a political philosophy
which analyses the world around us, especially, in modern
times, its economic characteristics. On the basis of this
analysis, the particular political philosophy sets out the
objectives which have to be struggled for, and the political
praxis informed by it carries out this struggle. |

| Making
Sense of Consumption Expenditure |
| May
28th 2024. C.P. Chandrasekhar and Jayati Ghosh |
|
Trends
in consumption expenditure confirm the evidence of increased
inequality and point to the constraints to future growth posed
by the lack of expansion of a mass market for consumption
goods. |

| Services
Exports as Growth Engine |
| May
14th 2024. C.P. Chandrasekhar and Jayati Ghosh |
|
The
rise in India's services exports has encouraged the view that
this is reflective of India’s pursuit of an alternative trajectory
of development. The evidence does not support that view. |

Scholars Conference Political Economy of Contemporary South
Asia |

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. |

2023-24: Neither growth nor welfare friendly |

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.

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.
