Social Classes of Global Castes

Inequality is a catchphrase for developmental and welfare economics. It has also become a rallying call for social and political justice. Inequality is not a condition, but it is a state that has been maintained by various forces who also despise inequality but embrace it partially as it benefits their goals.

We’ve spent important policy dossiers on understanding inequity through the dialectical partnership of economy and politics. What if public policy memos are themselves ingrained with retaining the biases of elite reproduction through social classes? The public portfolio of those who are responsible for articulating the understanding of society is filled with apprehensions of the historical Other.
