More about the book
Focusing on the mass employment of informal labor, the book explores rapid economic growth in India's urban centers, specifically Bangalore, Mumbai, and New Delhi. It highlights the uneven and combined development resulting from India's integration into the global economy, which has led to distorted urban growth. By employing a 'classes of labour' perspective, the author critiques mainstream narratives, revealing how low-wage workers often lack essential social protections and rights, underscoring the complexities of India's economic landscape.
