A class analysis of sharecropping
Abstract
The appearance, disappearance and reappearance of sharecropping in different social contexts and different time periods has been regarded as a puzzle by analysts of both the neoclassical and alternative theories. This dissertation is an attempt to define the conceptual terrain from which the puzzle of sharecropping emerges in non-neoclassical theories and to show a way out of this puzzle by conceptualising sharecropping in terms of class as the appropriation and distribution of surplus labour conditioned by different natural and social processes.
