About the Book
In this insightful work, Kalyan Dutt reflects on his years of study concerning production relations in Indian agriculture. He acknowledges that earlier works he produced left him unsatisfied, as they primarily focused on certain aspects of capitalist formation but neglected the complex interactions between different agricultural sectors—specifically between subsistence agriculture, peasant economies, and the capitalist sector in a multisectoral economy.
Drawing inspiration from Lenin’s writings, Dutt emphasizes the importance of studying agrarian economies in transition, particularly when precapitalist sectors continue to shape the development of capitalist formations. To better understand these dynamics, Dutt suggests that an interstate comparison of agrarian relations would be the most effective approach, as agriculture in different Indian states has distinct historical backgrounds and is at varying stages of development. This comparative approach allows for a more nuanced understanding of how different sectors evolve in the context of India’s diverse agricultural landscape, providing insights into the complexities of agricultural transition in a rapidly changing socio-economic environment.
