The Face You Were Afraid to See

The book presents a critical examination of the economic landscape in India, highlighting the detrimental effects of corporate-led globalization and neoliberalism. It argues against the notion of an invisible hand governing market prices, instead revealing how state policies favor large corporations, leading to widespread land-grabbing and displacement of the poor. Through a collection of essays, the author, Amit Bhaduri, challenges the prevailing belief in unregulated free trade and warns of the growing divide between privilege and poverty in India, urging a reevaluation of current economic policies.
