Item description from seller

8vo., xii, 289pp., tables, bibliography, orig. cloth gilt. A fine clean copy in a fine bright pictorial dustwrapper. Dr. Sen provides a theoretical and empirical analysis of the modes of production, social classes and the state of India. He argues that because of the nature of the modes of production in India, the state has been able to play an autonomous rols vis-a-vis the social classes - a view which is contrary to the traditional Marxist class theory of the state. Through a detailed and well-documented study, which begins with pre-British India, Dr. Sen shows that once the state has attained a definite form it reacts on the evolution of a social formation, the changing nature of which will in turn determine the state. He suggests that the analysis of this subtle process of interaction between the superstructures, that is, the state, and the base, the social formation, reveals the factors that are historically responsible for the decline of India's economy.
