Stages Of Capital
Argues that contemporary India's market society, and its concepts of the market and the public, emerged from commercial laws implemented by the British between 1870 and 1930. This book reveals how the categories of public and private infiltrated colonial commercial law, establishing distinct worlds for economic as opposed to cultural practice.
