摘要

18 世纪,现代经济学之父亚当-斯密观察到现有资本家(地主/商人)在经济和土地问题上的权力。在描述领主和农奴之间的封建关系时,斯密指出:"一切为了我们自己,而不为其他人做任何事情......似乎是人类主人的卑鄙格言。尽管几个世纪过去了,在印度,地主、种姓和佃农之间的关系并没有遵循 18 世纪农奴制的典型剥削状况,但合法所有权的权力鼓励地主模仿 "人类主人的卑鄙格言"。我们研究了 "权力 "在操纵土地征用相关影响评估的实践中作为卑鄙格言模仿者的作用。我们通过印度西孟加拉邦的萨尔博尼和辛古尔这两个土地征用案例对这一假设进行了实证研究。实证研究表明,"卑鄙格言 "是如何在印度土地征用过程中再现现有不公正现象的。

Masters of mankind: Negotiations, local powers and assessments for land acquisition for industrialisation in West Bengal
In the 18th century, Adam Smith, the father of modern economics, observed the power of existing capitalists (landlords/merchants) on economy and land issues. While describing the feudal relationships between lord and serf, Smith observed, “All for ourselves and nothing for other people seems ... have been the vile maxim of the masters of mankind.” Even though centuries have passed and in India, the relationship between the landlords, caste and sharecroppers does not follow the typical exploitative condition of 18th-century serfdom, the power of legal ownership encourages the landlords to imitate “the vile maxim of the masters of mankind”. We investigate the role of “power” in manipulating land acquisition-related impact assessments in practice as an imitation of the vile maxim. We empirically examine this assumption with the two land acquisition cases, i.e. Salboni and Singur, West Bengal, India. The empirical study suggests how the vile maxim reproduces the existing injustices during land acquisitions in India.
