Reddit mentions of Locked in Place: State-Building and Late Industrialization in India

Chibber's Locked in Place is an excellent comparison between India and South Korea during postwar development which shows the path that the ROK took to become the neoliberal paradise/hellhole it is today.

1. As you'll notice I've differentiated between Human Development and Industrial/Economic Development. When capitalism with an emphasis on manufacturing/industrialization was being adopted as an economic system, it did [as it always does] throw up massive inequalities. In response to these inequalities various movements/protests/political parties [such as socialists,social democrats..] developed across the decades. The modern welfare state [or human development measures in the global north] that we see now was developed either in anticipation of social unrest (as in case of Bismarck's Germany) or in reaction to the protests (such as in United States in 1930s), or by these somewhat social democratic parties (i.e. Social democrats in Sweden, Labour in UK, Kennedy-Johnson Democratic Party in 1960s).
   
   
2. Modern Human development (such as those peddled under the rubric of millenium development goals) however, doesn't ride on the back of industrialization. In this era of late Capitalism, modern human development mostly involves basic social provision and it rides on the back of commodity boom in the home country and cyclical financial inflow from the Global North (as in the case of India). It does help people no doubt but is pretty unsustainable. {eg. Brasil & India have already introduced austerity}.
