Amaravati and the Emerging Capitalist Dynamics in ‘New’ Andhra Pradesh

Three key dynamics have come to the fore in the fresh cycle of capitalism that is unfolding in the new state of Andhra Pradesh. First, capitalist accumulation is happening with a weak articulation and incorporation of labour. Second, capitalist development is being visualised in a city-centric paradigm with a weak vision of integrating the hinterlands. Third, these two dynamics are perceived by the state and the ruling elite to have little opposition, a kind of thesis with a weak antithesis. This paper provides a critique of these emerging dynamics in the hope of imagining a more inclusive Andhra Pradesh.

We thank an anonymous reviewer for insightful comments that helped us revise the paper. We also acknowledge the helpful comments of V Rajagopal and Sripad Motiram on an earlier version of the paper.
