Routledge - Finding The Middle Path: Political Economy of India

Explore the complex economic landscape of rural India with Finding The Middle Path: The Political Economy Of Cooperation In Rural India. Published by Routledge, this academic work examines the challenges faced during the transition from Soviet-style socialism to capitalism in nations like Russia, China, and India. As capitalism faces its own set of crises and struggles to meet the needs of small farmers, workers, and the middle class, this book investigates the necessity for enterprises that balance economic efficiency with broader social goals. It provides a deep look into how cooperative models might offer a viable alternative in a changing global economy. Written by B.S. Baviskar, a Professor of Sociology at the University of Delhi, this text draws on his extensive research into cooperative sugar factories. This book is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in economic conditions, development politics, and the shifting structures of rural economies.
