Document Summary
Globalization: rise of a new middle class. Mukesh ambani: one of the richest men in the world, most expensive property antilla, sits at the heart of mumbai. Is mumbai a city of slums (as depicted in slumdog millionaire) or a city of millionaires with average house prices reaching + million: in reality mumbai is both. A new model of development: pillar of the policy was economic liberalization = facilitated privatization and globalization. Kept on cycling the money within the company instead: revenue and pro t not cycled back out to the community to improve infrastructure, main cities and villages did not bene t from this privatization. Privatization created a neoliberal middle class less dependent on the state: in favor of this economic model because it is what created them and what sustains them. Nehruvian middle class largely state dependent, including employment. Increasing secession from state, but supports state development.
