"Class Inequalities in India and China in Neoliberal Times"
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | Our guest speaker is Vamsi Vakulabharanam, Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
CAPA Symposium
Bennington College
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | In his research, Vamsi Vakulabharanam argues for a theoretical framework that incorporates two levels of political economic processes. First, global capitalist crises lead to the creation of an institutional structure or a regime in the capitalist centers that influences inequality in these core countries and in the periphery. Second, the class configuration in the non-core countries set institutional arrangements that play a key role in determining inequality outcomes. Vakulabharanam is an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
