Summary, etc. The eight papers in this volume look at several issues: the role of the state and colonial policy in influencing the conditions and structure of agrarian change and industrialization in south India; the differences in business activity and state policy in the princely states, in contrast to British India; sub-regional variations in the commercialization process as linked to ecological and demographic factors as well as investments in infrastructure; and the dynamics of land transfer and peasant stratification. Some of the essays also consider the working of the capitalist plantation sector, the movement of agro-commercial capital and industry, and the effects of the colonial framework within which institutions were formed and technologies disseminated in arenas as diverse as agricultural production and public health.<br/><br/>Each of the eight papers, representing case studies of some of these issues at the regional and sub-regional level, attempts to throw light on the structure and dynamics of a regional economy.<br/><br/>The contributors are all well-reputed economists or economic historians, and this book will interest all who study Indian economic and social history as well as the impact of colonialism upon local populations.
