In 2012, Zambian President Michael Sata launched “Link Zambia 8000,” pledging 8,000 kilometers of new roads. Billions flowed from China, the World Bank, and OECD financiers. A decade later, less than 10% was completed. The new tarmac clustered in the Northern Province—a ruling-party stronghold—while the opposition’s Southern Province remained a patchwork of dusty tracks.

Departures This book, at its core, is a renouncement of a belief system: doctrinal legal approaches to ‘law and torture’ research and practice.

The field of South Asian economic history has changed dramatically since the publication of The Cambridge Economic History of India, Vol. 2 (CEHI 2, 1983). CEHI 2 was a pathbreaking reference work when it appeared. But it was a largely descriptive narrative that avoided comparative analysis, theoretical debates, and historiography.

The aim of this book is to find some precision and a point of origin for the concept of capital and by doing that, therefore capitalism. It also challenges the merchant based London centric interpretation of the financial revolution, and argues that the socially and geographically broad based financial development it describes allowed industrialisation to […]
