A. D’Costa 
The Long March to Capitalism 
Embourgeoisment, Internationalization and Industrial Transformation in India

The author captures the evolution of Indian industrial capitalism by extending the ‘models of capitalism’ and ‘regulation framework’. Using principally the auto industry and anchoring the analysis to the expansion of markets, he demonstrates that the Indian state and businesses have been important institutions for creating markets. He acknowledges significant market growth, but also underscores several contradictions arising from such capitalist development. There is a wealth of data, which scholars, policymakers, and businesses will find very useful.
