Oxfam Inequality Report, Piketty & New India | Midweek Matters | Parakala Prabhakar (41)
Dr Parakala speaks about Thomas Piketty's absorbing book, Capital and Ideology and the recently released Oxfam's report, Inequality Kills which has an India supplement also. He suggests that we all engage with these two works, challenge them. And, even if we do not agree with them, we should allow ourselves to be troubled by both them. He points out that New India is not troubled by inequality. It also tolerates it and justifies it. And it added social and cultural inequality to the existing economic equality.
