Class dynamics of agrarian change
Bernstein, Henry.
Class dynamics of agrarian change - Halifax Kumarian Press 2010 - xii, 142 p. ; 21 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 131-138) and index.
Development processes are never neutral. They impact various groups and classes of people differently. A high food price may benefit some rich peasants who produce and sell food surplus, but it may disadvantage landless rural laborers. A project on irrigation may benefit those who own the land, but not the landless tenants. Nowadays, official documents by governments and development agencies tend to lump different groups of people into vague categories like rural poor . This might be useful in some cases, but in large part this thinking can harm the poorest of the poor.
