Innovation as Social Change in South Asia: Transforming Hierarchies

South Asia is the cradle of much innovation, the most notable being microfinance. When technological and social innovation takes place in starkly hierarchical societies, such as in South Asia, do they actually make life better? And if so, for whom? This book presents case studies of technological and social innovations that point to limitations but also to the promise of engendering lasting change. This book was originally published as a special issue of Contemporary South Asia.
