The
Crisis of Liberalism |
|
| Nov
18th 2024, Prabhat Patnaik |
|
| Trump's
victory in the US Presidential election conforms to a pattern
presently observable across the world, namely a collapse of
the liberal centre and a growth in support either for the
Left, or for the extreme Right, the neo-fascists, in situations
in which the Left is absent or weak. |

| The
Kazan Summit of BRICS |
|
| Nov
11th 2024, Prabhat Patnaik |
|
| The
Kazan summit of the BRICS countries was a historic one for
several reasons: first, it created a new category called "partner
nations" as a step towards full membership, and accepted
13 such new "partner" countries, among whom were
Cuba and Bolivia. |

| The
Geopolitics of the Natural Gas Trade |
| Nov
13th 2024. C.P. Chandrasekhar and Jayati Ghosh |
|
Changes
in global natural gas trade have reflected geopolitical alignments
but these may shift, depending on policies of incoming US
President Donald Trump. |

| The
Angst over China's Slowdown |
| Oct

|
While
the evidence that GDP growth in China has slowed is clear,
the dire predictions they have given rise to are exaggerated. |

|
| The
Function of Neoliberal Budgets |
| Aug
5th 2024, C.P. Chandrasekhar |
|
With
the short-term, frenzied interest that accompanies annual
budget presentations in India having ended, it is time to
raise issues that were largely ignored in the debate.

| Budget
2024-25: A frightening obduracy |
| Jul
29th 2024, Prabhat Patnaik |
|
There
is massive unemployment in the country that especially afflicts
the youth; there is a huge and persistent inflation in food
prices; there is acute and unprecedented rural distress;
there is a crisis in the petty production sector; and income
and wealth inequality has reached levels where the whole
world is talking about it.

Budget 2024-25 — No signs of learning |
| Jul
24th 2024, C.P. Chandrasekhar |
|
The
mismatch between the problem at hand and what the Budget
offers is stark be it welfare or even taking care of key
political allies.

| Young
Scholars Conference Political Economy of Contemporary South
Asia |
| October
13-14, 2023 | Berkeley, United States |
|
| Jun
14th 2023. |
|
Our
key theme is the political economy of contemporary South Asia.
At the core of these transformations are the fraught and so-called
"truncated transition," where South Asian societies
are not making the transition from farm to factory, but the
rise of informal economies, industrial clusters, in-between
agrarian-urban and peri-urban spaces force us to rethink familiar
transition narratives and to eschew them in favour of more
grounded theories. |
