{"product_id":"the-indian-bourgeoisie-david-lockwood-9781350162211","title":"The Indian Bourgeoisie: A Political History of the Indian Capitalist Class in the Early Twentieth Century","description":"The complex and hard-fought movement for political freedom in India coincided with the rise of a wealthy capitalist class of Indian industrialists who had profited under British rule. By 1947, these prominent businessmen had forged a partnership with the socialist-led Indian National Congress, and supported Jawaharlal Nehru's implementation of a centrally-planned economy. In this political history of modern India, David Lockwood traces the roots of this capitalist class, concentrated in Bombay, Calcutta and the west Bengal coal mining region, and examines British economic policy in the nineteenth century. Indian capitalists, such as J.R.D Tata of Tata Steel, established powerful relationships with domestic governments throughout the period, holding indigenous industrial conferences and supporting the swadeshi movement which aimed to promote Indian-manufactured goods. The Indian Bourgeoisie is a unique and important contribution to the lively debate on the role of India's capitalists during the Raj and throughout the early years of independence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Lockwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350162213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350162211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.68d","brand":"David Lockwood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47200595247359,"sku":"9781350162211","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4eadcf09-df67-4d60-bf43-30568d1121db.jpg?v=1756787354","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-indian-bourgeoisie-david-lockwood-9781350162211","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
