Development and Productive Deprivation: Male Patriarchal Relations in Business Families and their Implications for Women in South India

Barbara Harriss-White

QEH Working Papers from Queen Elizabeth House, University of Oxford

Abstract: Development involves the acquisition of assets. This paper models the family-firm in India and reveals the operation of patriarchy in its original sense - the control of younger men by older men. A number of paradoxes both for economic and human development - in particular for women's life chances - posed by these gendered governance relations are explored.
