Description

Arguing that existing methods of classifying data are inadequate for analyzing India's agrarian structure and changes in it, this book draws on empirical work using Marxist categories to examine the development of rural capitalist production in Haryana. The author formulates an empirical criterion based on labor use for capturing class status and applies it to farm households in the region.
