A Colonial Economy in the Great Depression

 
K.A. Manikumar (Author)
Synopsis This book provides an understanding of how a global economic phenomenon can affect a provincial area at all levels. It would appeal to all interested in Madras's background and the interlinked factors that influenced the Province before Independence.This book aims to give a complete description of the impact of the Great Depression on the Madras Presidency, by using the techniques of both a historian and an economist. Manikumar's multidisciplinary approach provides a fresh perspective on the political, economic and social conditions of the Presidency in the 1930s. The major areas covered are: Madras's economy before the Depression, particularly the state of the export-dependent agricultural sector; the rise of indebtedness among the peasants; the varied effects on industrial sectors; the economic policies of the colonial government, which worsened the degree of debt; and the social and political effects of the Depression, including the Indian National Congress's increased political influence.
