Mapping India's Capitalism: Old and New Regions

India's capitalist transformation has been spatially uneven. Combining several analytical approaches, the contributors identify socio-spatial regularities some contiguous with state boundaries, some transcending states and some contained within them - while providing evidence about the spatial unevenness of India's capitalist development.
