The analysis of rural markets and the behaviour of those involved in them should be at the centre of the study of the economies of poor countries. This book is about such markets and its main purpose is to examine and develop theories relating to them in the context of an Indian village. By focusing on a particular village, the book analyses some of the many contradictory and grand assertions about the nature and consequences of the 'Green Revolution'.

Industry Reviews

The three Palanpur volumes are a monument to serious social science. I don't know of anything like them. -- Robert Solow, Emeritus Professor of Economics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Laureate of the Nobel Prize in Economics 1987
