PAPER III

NAME OF SUBJECT: POLITICAL ECONOMY OF DEVELOPMENT

SUBJECT CODE: (HPO51105)

Credits: 4

L-T-P

3-1-0

Course Objective: “To discover the various uses of things is the work of history. So is the

establishment of socially recognised standards of measure for the quantities of these useful

products... political economy, on the other hand, investigates the real relations of production

in a society.” (Marx: Capital) However, since the dethronement of the labour theory of value

by the marginalist revolution of neoclassical economics, the determination of value has been

lost in relativist discussions of price, profit and utility. In this paper, the students are

introduced to the classical school of political economy who could go beyond the apparent

prices to get to the notion of congealed labour that determines the exchange value of a

commodity. In that spirit, the theory of market mechanism, growth and policies are taken up

here. Marx, on a complete different route, has tried to explain human creative activity

through the social forms it takes in a specific stage of history of mankind. His contribution

8

lies in bringing out the real tendencies of social revolution to indicate the path for human

development beyond capitalism.

I. Introduction to political economy: Renaissance, rise of Western modernity,

Enlightenment, humanism, individualism, liberalism, science and rationality, colonialism,

imperialism, mercantilism, physiocracy;

II. Classical Political Economy: The labour theory of value - Adam Smith, invisible hand,

theory of growth, role of state, value theory; Ricardo – income distribution, theory of

rent; classical dichotomy, the quantity theory of money, market mechanism, competition,

investment led growth, logic of capital accumulation, economic growth, free trade as an

engine of growth, theory of absolute advantage and comparative advantage, J.S. Mill,

Neoclassical economics - the marginalist revolution, subjectivist theory of value

III. Marxian Theory :A Critique of Political Economy: Idealism vs. materialism, dialectics

as a method, capitalism as a social structure, commodity and money, labourpower, labour

process, forces of production, relations of production, mode of production, surplus value

and capital, class as property or power, exploitation as a Marxian category, historical

materialism and the Marxian theory of development , value theory.

IV. Class and Development: Class focused economy: class as a process, overdetermination,

social formation, capitalism as a representation, class justice and post-capitalist economy,

Class and need: surplus, class and development distribution, development justice, public

policy, inclusion, poverty, Capitalist Hegemony: nodal point foregrounding and

foreclosure;

V. Critique of Political Economy of Development: Critique of Political Economy of

Development; re-examining dual economic model (Lewis, informal-formal, etc.);

interrogating alternative theories of transition and development; rethinking transition:

reconstruction beyond the capitalist hegemonic; post-capitalist politics;
