Sustainability: From the Margins of Capitalism
The study develops a case-based comparison between practices in sustainability that have arisen from margins of formal capital markets in two different institutional frameworks. The first framework is that of the U.K, a ‘developed’ market and the latter is that of India, a ‘developing’ market. Transcending economic ideas about development, the case comparison articulates similarities and differences in institutional factors such as cultural mindsets (e.g. frugalism), dimensions of innovation, and the possibility of future market structures that may focus on regenerative development in the respective cases.
