In this talk, Michael Walton from Harvard University discusses the parallels and contrasts between private wealth in the US Gilded Age and contemporary India. Michael also explores the counter-movement in the Progressive Era, that brought both greater regulation of US capitalism and the development of significant elements of a social welfare state, with regard to India’s current political economy.
