‘Kannan's treatise on the informal economy is on the widening gap between the classes higher up and down below. His critical analysis challenges the inclusivity of the growth process unleashed by the neoliberal reform policies.’ — Jan Breman, Amsterdam Institute of Social Science Research, University of Amsterdam

‘The book argues for a strategy of inequality-sensitive well-being of the people.’ — D. Narasimha Reddy, ICSSR National Fellow and former Dean of Social Sciences, University of Hyderabad

‘The book finds that India’s post-liberalisation growth has been accompanied by increasing inequalities and informalisation of employment.’ — T. S. Papola, ICSSR National Fellow and former Director, Giri Institute of Development Studies, Lucknow
