Wage Labour and Unfreedom in Agriculture : An Indian Case Study (WIDER Studies in Development Economics)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This book addresses the question of how so much growth and technical change has occurred in Indian agriculture while the position of agricultural workers has remained relatively unchanged. Focusing on the employees, this study describes an area in Southern India which is known for agricultural
development. The author discusses the increase in numbers and proportion of agricultural workers, the stagnation and marginal decline of wage rates and earnings, the property-less status of agricultural workers, consumption, and indebtedness. An original contribution to the study of markets and
development studies, this work shows how limited the changes in agriculture are in India.
