| Summary: | This book examines the structural violence and systemic oppression caused by financial inclusion and microfinance policies in modern India, particularly among marginalized and subaltern classes. The author explores the historical, political, and economic contexts of financial systems, highlighting the exploitative nature of chronic indebtedness and its impact on social reproduction, gendered labor, and migrant workers in urban areas like Bengaluru. Through a Marxist and realist lens, the book connects financial capitalism to class oppression, racialization, and the broader neoliberal development agenda. Intended for scholars, policymakers, and researchers in political science, social sciences, and development studies, it aims to offer a critical perspective on how financial inclusion perpetuates inequality and exploitation. |
