"With a new essay by Amartya Sen"--Jacket. About The Book

Poverty and Income Distribution in India, first published in 1974, brought together the global who's who of poverty research of that time. But over the years, out of print, this important book had essentially vanished from library collections around the world. With four new essays by the present editors and one by the economics Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen, which reflect on the shifts in perspective that have taken place in the decades that have gone by, this updated volume is an essential reference. Offering insights into conceptual and practical issues in the measurement of poverty, it is indispensable for students and practitioners alike. Copyright: Indian Statistical Institute.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 627-648).
