Analysis of an agrarian society confronted with capitalism.

This collection of essays on early 1980s India is one of the few anthropological treatments of agricultural reasoning. It offers a close look at an agrarian society at the pivotal moment of its encounter with capitalist transformation and studies ideas of measurement, sociality, and independence.
