Summary: Criminal Capital explores the relationship between neoliberalism, criminality and the reshaping of class in modern India. It discusses how the political vocabularies of urban industrial workers reflect the processes by which power is distributed across the region. Based upon field research among a ‘casualised’ workforce in the industrial city of Jamshedpur, the book examines the links between the decline of employment security, and criminality in trade unions, corporations and the state. https://www.routledge.com/Criminal-Capital-Violence-Corruption-and-Class-in-Industrial-India/Sanchez/p/book/9781138921962
