Production Relations in Agrarian Capitalist Development

Gilbert Skillman

Review of Radical Political Economics, 2017, vol. 49, issue 1, 133-147

Abstract: Das (2012) proposes to apply Marx’s account of the subsumption of labor under capital , concerning levels of capitalist control of production, in addressing questions regarding the definition of capitalism and the nature and forms of economic development in agrarian economies, and to use the recent economic experience of Indian agriculture for empirical illustration. This comment raises several issues with regard to Das’s reading of Marx’s account and his application of that account in assessing Indian agricultural development.
