Class Structure and Economic Growth
Originally published in 1971, Class Structure and Economic Growth provides a coverage of the entire economic development and the accompanying changes in class structure of the Hinduism sub-continent since the time of the Moghuls. With scope of three periods such as the Moghul, Colonial, and post-independence periods, Angus Maddison aims to provide further information about the income distribution, and the relation between the social structure and economic growth in a historical perspective. This book also takes issue with “Marxist and anti-British” historians who are alleged to have exaggerated the size of the Indian plunder during the colonial period.
