Gold in India’s Social Development
Programme Type
Talks
ONLINE WEBINAR
Speaker: Barbara Harriss-White, Emeritus Professor of Development Studies, Oxford University and Emeritus Fellow, Wolfson College
Chair: Muchkund Dubey, President, Council for Social Development
This lecture explores what a particular product – gold- tells us about Indian society. India is an emerging global gold hub, yet gold is strangely neglected by researchers. Using a systematic political economy approach encompassing import, refining, craft and mechanized production, re-export, retail and gendered deployment in the largely informal rural economy. This lecture examines the centrality of gold to India’s social and economic life. It further suggest reasons for its significant black flows, the decades of unstable regulative efforts to rein in ‘unproductive’ social stockpiling vastly in excess of official reserves, and other policies beset by problems and conflicts of enforcement.
