In Focus-Weekend: Manu Joseph on why the poor don’t kill us, and other such mysteries
India is one of the most unequal places in the known universe. It combines extreme inequality with extreme exploitation like nowhere else. And yet, the exploited, the poor working classes, have not really risen up in revolt, and it seems like they never will. Why is this so?
In this weekender episode of In Focus, we are joined by Manu Joseph who has come out with a book-length answer to this very question. The book is called, coincidentally, Why The Poor Don’t Kill Us. The conversation is about this mystery, and also, among other things, the psychological dimension of poverty, the austerity of the rich, and the pointlessness of owning a small dog.
Guest: Manu Joseph, Journalist and Author
Host: G Sampath
