Suneja A: Why India Lost

Why India Lost

A Comparative Mirror of India and China - Past Roots, Present Reality, and Future Possibilities

Routledge Revivals

Originally published in 1968, this book was an important contribution both to the economics of the public sector and to the study of comparative economic systems and remains of historical interest. In contrast to many expenditure specialists who deal primarily with aggregated data, the author presents a combination of a theoretical and statistical analysis of a number of individual public expenditures. This enables him to take advantage of the special properties of each expenditure. In comparing economic systems the author studies many nations including Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy and the USA and clarifies the differences between their systems by empirical comparisons of the behaviour of each country.This classic book was among the first extensive studies in the field of comparative economic systems using modern economic theory and statistical methods.

EL ESTADO REPRESENTADO

A thoughtful and provocative meditation on both the potential and limits of constitutionalism. In the early twenty-first century, constitutionalism confronts numerous pressures and critiques. Some prominent critics are concerned that constitutionalism's modern form, in which high courts play a large role, limits popular self-governance. By committing their nations to detailed social and economic policies--from neoliberal requirements for balanced budgets to constitutionalized social welfare and environmental rights--many modern constitutions might make promises they cannot keep and be unduly rigid in the face of changing social, economic, and environmental conditions. Meanwhile, the rise of proto-authoritarian elected leaders around the world shows that constitutions are vulnerable to, and may even enable, democratic backsliding. Mark Tushnet and Bojan Bugarič argue that addressing each of these serious concerns through constitutional design and innovation is potentially valuable, but paradoxically, every remedy also carries with it the possibility that it will intensify the very conditions it seeks to ameliorate. Instead, Tushnet and Bugarič propose a "thin" idea of constitutionalism and suggest that we should scale back our expectations for what constitutionalism can achieve. Political mobilization, led by people attuned to the economic and cultural causes of democratic backsliding, is a better bet.

Constitutionalism and Its Discontents

How the social organization of Europe and China shaped their divergent economic and political trajectories over the past millennium In the eleventh century, when Europe was still backward and poor, China was a rich and sophisticated civilization. Yet Europe became the birthplace of democracy and the Industrial Revolution, driving the Great Enrichment, while China stagnated until the end of the twentieth century and was always ruled by autocracies. Two Paths to Prosperity traces the emergence of two very different social organizations in premodern China and Europe--the clan and the corporation--showing how they were key factors in the economic and political divergence of these two great civilizations. In this landmark book, three leading economists offer a bold new account of why Europe and China evolved along such different trajectories. In the early Middle Ages, public goods like risk sharing, religious worship, education, and conflict resolution were provided by nonstate organizations in both societies. China increasingly relied on kin-based cooperation within clans, while weaker kinship ties in Europe gave rise to corporations such as guilds, universities, and self-governing towns. Despite performing similar functions, clans and corporations were built on very different principles--with lasting consequences until today. Providing a novel answer to a fundamental question in economic and political history, Two Paths to Prosperity shows how extended kinship in Chinese society facilitated the consolidation of autocracy and hindered innovation and economic development, and how corporations in Europe influenced emerging state institutions and set the stage for the Industrial Revolution.

Two Paths to Prosperity

Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year Award How 1,000 years of global history show why technological and economic progress is often followed by stagnation and even collapse In How Progress Ends, Carl Benedikt Frey challenges the conventional belief that economic and technological progress is inevitable. For most of human history, stagnation was the norm, and even today progress and prosperity in the world's largest, most advanced economies--the United States and China--have fallen short of expectations. To appreciate why we cannot depend on any AI-fueled great leap forward, Frey offers a remarkable and fascinating journey across the globe, spanning the past 1,000 years, to explain why some societies flourish and others fail in the wake of rapid technological change. By examining key historical moments--from the rise of the steam engine to the dawn of AI--Frey shows why technological shifts have shaped, and sometimes destabilized, entire civilizations. He explores why some leading technological powers of the past--such as Song China, the Dutch Republic, and Victorian Britain--ultimately lost their innovative edge, why some modern nations such as Japan had periods of rapid growth followed by stagnation, and why planned economies like the Soviet Union collapsed after brief surges of progress. Frey uncovers a recurring tension in history: while decentralization fosters the exploration of new technologies, bureaucracy is crucial for scaling them. When institutions fail to adapt to technological change, stagnation inevitably follows. Only by carefully balancing decentralization and bureaucracy can nations innovate and grow over the long term--findings that have worrying implications for the United States, Europe, China, and other economies today. Through a rich narrative that weaves together history, economics, and technology, How Progress Ends reveals that managing the future requires us to draw the right lessons from the past.

"Your Money's Worth" is a pioneering and provocative analysis of the American marketplace and the systematic exploitation of the modern buyer. This influential study delves into the complexities of the consumer's dollar, exposing how aggressive advertising, lack of industry standardization, and deceptive branding practices lead to significant economic waste. The work examines the stark contrast between the scientific reality of manufacturing and the often misleading claims found in retail marketing, arguing that the average individual is ill-equipped to judge the true value of the goods they purchase. By highlighting the gaps between production costs and final prices, the authors advocate for a more transparent and scientifically informed approach to shopping. This book served as a foundational text for the burgeoning consumer rights movement, calling for the establishment of standards and testing to protect the public interest. It remains an essential read for those interested in the history of economic thought, the sociology of consumption, and the evolution of marketing ethics.

'Phillips O'Brien is one of the keenest observers of modern strategy, and his new book takes a deep historical look at the evolution of warfare and its implications for conflicts like the ongoing one in Ukraine' Francis Fukuyama--------------------War and power are two of the most-widely discussed issues in all of human history, and yet they are, time and again, misunderstood - often disastrously so.Whilst we might think the outcome of war is determined by so-called 'Great Powers' who dominate their opponents with their impressive size and military prowess, the reality of modern conflict, as renowned strategic historian Professor Phillips Payson O'Brien demonstrates, is very different. He urges us instead to look for 'Full Spectrum Powers'.For if we are considering how powerful a nation is and who will win a war, we need to think less about weapons, and more about the economies and societies that produce them; less about individual battles, and more about sustaining campaigns and alliances in which states operate.Using fascinating examples from the late 19th century to the present day, War and Power explains how misunderstanding war and power has led to terrible, even preventable conflicts - such as the war in Ukraine - and how more accurate analysis can help us consider the potential conflict between the US and China.War and Power provides a bold new way of understanding the dangerous world around us.--------------------'Phillips O'Brien is always fantastic. Heterodox. He's pretty scathing, even about Biden administration policy . . . A really interesting book' Paul Krugman, Distinguished Professor of Economics'As Phillips O'Brien points out in this important book, the character of war evolves, but some of the underlying truths, particularly from the second World War, are still very much with us.' Eliot Cohen, Professor Emeritus at Johns Hopkins SAIS

Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy

This book explores the participatory economy model (parecon) as a democratic alternative to capitalism and central planning. Written from an accounting perspective, it addresses two critical challenges in implementing this theoretical framework: product categorisation and contextualising annual planning.It outlines a comprehensive product catalogue framework by analysing how consumers and producers influence product categorisation, design, and production processes across nine distinct product types, which collectively shape annual planning proposals, costing, and pricing mechanisms. Further, the book positions the contextualisation of annual planning clearly and concretely within the framework of the ongoing and complex relations existing in an open, fair and democratic modern economy. It identifies the most important coordination tasks and support functions necessary in a participatory economy for the formal annual planning procedure and the implementation of a fair and efficient agreed annual plan. Overall, the author proposes possible and viable ways to bridge the gap between abstract economic theory and the present reality, illuminating complex issues and demonstrating how a participatory economy can function efficiently without markets or private ownership.The work emphasises democratic decision-making, equitable income distribution, and self-management while providing detailed frameworks for price formation, production coordination, and investment planning in a complex modern economy. As such, it will appeal to researchers, scholars and students of heterodox economics, political economy, and socialist theory, as well as activists and practitioners interested in alternative economic systems.
