{"product_id":"9781583672501","title":"The God Market : How Globalization is Making India More Hindu","description":"\u003cp\u003eConventional wisdom says that integration into the global marketplace tends to weaken the power of traditional faith in developing countries. But, as Meera Nanda argues in this path-breaking book, this is hardly the case in today's India. Against expectations of growing secularism, India has instead seen a remarkable intertwining of Hinduism and neoliberal ideology, spurred on by a growing capitalist class. It is this \"State-Temple-Corporate Complex,\" she claims, that now wields decisive political and economic power, and provides ideological cover for the dismantling of the Nehru-era state-dominated economy. According to this new logic, India's rapid economic growth is attributable to a special \"Hindu mind,\" and it is what separates the nation's Hindu population from Muslims and others deemed to be \"anti-modern.\" As a result, Hindu institutions are replacing public ones, and the Hindu \"revival\" itself has become big business, a major source of capital accumulation. Nanda explores the roots of this development and its possible future, as well as the struggle for secularism and socialism in the world's second-most populous country.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monthly Review Press,U.S.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45507863216207,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":3115.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/ja\/products\/9781583672501","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
