Lopsided Growth: Political Economy of Indian Development

By Biren Prasad and Pradhan H. Prasad

These essays explore the factors that slow Indian economic and political development. Prasad argues that the Indian preoccupation with investment planning and neglect of institutional transformation inhibits development, and that unless "semi-feudal" production relations are eliminated, development will be impossible. The work addresses a wide range of subjects including macroeconomic plan models, choice of techniques, growing political assertiveness by the middle peasantry, causes of agrarian violence, and uneven regional growth.
