Capitalism and Agrarian Change by Muchtar Habibi

Capitalism and Agrarian Change by Muchtar Habibi

Capitalism and Agrarian Change challenges the view that small-scale agricultural producers are assumed to be a single social class pitted against the state or corporation by demonstrating that under current capitalist social relations these agricultural producers have been differentiated into different agrarian classes by exploitation.

"This is a fine study of class differentiation in rural Indonesia, the first by an Indonesian scholar for a long timeIt is based on fieldwork in two villages, one centred on rice in Java and the other on palm oil in Sumatra. The book skilfully traces the dynamics of class and generational reproduction, including non-farming activities and earnings of different classes. It is of great interest and value to those studying rural change in other regions of the global South".
Henry Bernstein, SOAS

"Overall, Habibi’s book is an important contribution to the literature on agrarian change in the contemporary era from a critical political economy perspective."
