Biography
Elisabetta Basile is Professor of Applied Economics in the Faculty of Economics at the University of Rome, Italy. She is co-convenor of the Europe-Asia Working Group of the European Association of Development and Training Institutions (EADI), and has worked extensively on capitalist change in Europe and in India.
"[...] a must for whoever is interested in the (bleak) reality of Indian development, but a crucially important addition to the panoply of methodological tools at the disposal of social scientists working on India." - The International Spectator
"...the book by Elisabetta Basile enlarges our understanding of
India’s contemporary capitalism. Relying on a robust theoretical framework and developing an
in-depth empirical analysis, the author disentangles the processes of socio-economic change,
as well as the structures and relations that have been supporting rural non-farm growth."
