This book confronts the paradox of mass poverty co-existing with vast resource potentials in much of rural India. The authors present evidence that the potentials from groundwater and trees are larger than earlier estimated. To identify how the poor can gain more from their exploitation, they start with the livelihoods and priorities of the poor themselves. Empirical research and the principles of practical political economy are combined to identify new and hopeful policies.
