He has travelled widely in rural India and done fieldwork of a kind that few economists have attempted. In \u003cem\u003eSense and Solidarity\u003c\/em\u003e Dreze offers unique insight on\u003cbr\u003eissues of hunger, inequality, conflict, and the evolution of social policy in India over roughly the past two decades. Historic legislations and initiatives of the period, relating for instance to the right to food and the right to work, are all scrutinised and explained, as are the fierce debates\u003cbr\u003ethat often accompanied them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJholawala has become a disparaging term for activists in the Indian business media. This book affirms the learning value of collective action combined with sound economic analysis. In his detailed introduction, the author argues for an approach to development economics where research and action\u003cbr\u003eare complementary and interconnected.\u003cem\u003eSense and Solidarity\u003c\/em\u003e spans the gamut of critical social policies, from education and health to poverty, nutrition, child care, corruption, employment, and social security. There are also less predictable topics such as the caste system, corporate power, nuclear\u003cbr\u003edisarmament, the Gujarat model, the Kashmir conflict, and universal basic income. \u003cem\u003eSense and Solidarity\u003c\/em\u003e enlarges the boundaries of social development towards a broad concern with the sort of society we want to create.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Dreze\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/21\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.50w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198833468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJean Dreze, \u003cem\u003eVisiting Professor, Department of Economics, Ranchi University, India\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJean Dreze, development economist, has taught at the London School of Economics and the Delhi School of Economics and is currently Visiting Professor at Ranchi University.
