Why Should We Build Back Differently?

2021/03/02

Contributor(s): Dr Sunil Kumar | Post-COVID19, there is talk of ‘building back better’. What does this mean? Does it refer to making some improvement to existing economic and social arrangements whilst leaving much of its premise intact? Sunil Kumar draws upon his research on internal migrant construction workers in India, exploited in terms of wages as well as working and living conditions, to suggest that we should, instead, think of building back differently based on the idea of care.
