"The India China Institute at The New School, now in its third year of convening fellowships, public debates and trilateral research collaborations between experts in India, China and the United States, is ideally placed to host this major conference on “Prosperity and Inequality: Debates in India and China”.

Drawing on two cohorts of our own fellows from all three counties, as well as a remarkable range of experts who have been researching issues of urbanization, globalization and growth in India and China, this Conference will determine a benchmark assessment of Chinese and Indian urbanization and wealth-formation, of the social and political risks associated with skyrocketing growth in two massive agrarian societies, of alternative designs for future development in each society and of the search, in both societies, for a “third way” of development that combines the virtues of socialism and capitalism without sacrificing the virtues of democracy and grassroots inclusion."
