want to read a bit more soon. BTW, pretty nice design this site has, but don’t you think design should be changed once in a few months? 12:45 am December 2, 2010 Awittytwit wrote: Hi Rupa,Very relevant article, and nicely summarized.I am no economist, but I guess everybody can relate to what you say.Essentially income disparity is not unique to India; in any society the person who was born with money or worked his way to richness, would want to flaunt it and exceptions are very little; and at some level it does serve as an aspirational force.A certain amount of balance between a far right, capitalistic money and prosperity is god view vs. anyone who flaunts money in a poor land is evil, view is required here.For many years, India has suffered from a far left, confused socialistic view of economics and governance. If A was rich, and B was poor, our governments worked hard to ensure A did not grow richer, but not to make B’s life better. The poor has always lived in an illusion. It is no surprise to me that the Maoist belt of anti rich India sentiment has been traditionally ruled by left / left leaning parties all long.Today we have made some corrections on that front post liberalization, where at least the middle class could genuinely hope for and achieve proposerity. As a not too rich and not too poor kid, I recollect so many visible symbols of wealth that I set targets on earning with my hard work, and that is a very powerful motivation tool. But we do risk, going to the other extreme, especially as corporates’s exploitation of natural resources in tribal areas is under scrutiny. The stories of Mukesh Ambani’s 50 storeyed houses and the frenetic media coverage of such things and Forbes rich lists shock me. In my blog on significant challenges facing India, http://www.tomsoutletsalecheap.com - toms shoes sale , I have listed the fact that we do not use the right measures of economic progress / development, as a key handicap: http://bit.ly/eE1XGkI think all developing countries need to collectively be well balanced between the hardcore communist and hard core capitalistic ideologies, and the state has to play an active role in ensuring long term inclusive growth. There is no way you can stop the rich from flaunting, even if a lot of us personally feel that’s not sensible!Cheers!Vasu 12:20 pm February 12, http://www.tomsoutletsalecheap.com - cheap toms shoes , 2011 Prashant Saxena wrote: Hi Rupa,Informative indeed! Apart from Veblen, Bourdieu s theory of distinction is quite apt in explaining the distinctions economic class create. My current research seeks to explore that.
