Recasting Economic Inequality

Ashwini Deshpande

Review of Social Economy, 2000, vol. 58, issue 3, 381-399

Abstract: Arguing that it is necessary to refine the study of Indian inequality by studying patterns of inter group disparity, this essay highlights the salience of caste for this purpose. Outlining the imperatives of an economic enquiry into contemporary caste inequality, the essay critically reviews the small body of the theoretical and empirical work, attempting to highlight the different theoretical perspectives that underlie the literature.
