"This is a valuable book that tells us much about the way production is organized and labor is controlled in the unorganized sector, where millions of workers find employment and where continued growth is to be expected as Indian capitalism itself expands." --Pacific Affairs Can the unorganized sector be defined precisely? Is the informal sector markedly different from the unorganized sector? Are alternative explanations available for this phenomenon? In The Political Economy of the Unorganised Sector, Singh clarifies this conceptual confusion by examining the labor process in the unorganized industrial sector. First using a historical perspective, the author traces the growth of industrial capital and production in Europe and India, then analyzes a specific industry to explain the political economy currently in India. As a study of the interrelationship between the level of development of industrial capital and its effect, this volume develops a framework for the conceptual redefinition of the unorganized sector. An appealing addition for sociologists, industrialists, and economists.
