Dr. Pasuk at Chula’s recent essay and lecture on the political impasse that Thailand currently faces refers over and over again to the informal urban sector, even drawing overlapping arrows between this sector and the agriculture sector in a pie chart.

It looks like Dr. Rigg’s work deals with the informal urban sector and its overlap with agriculture. Couldn’t think of anything more relevant to contemporary events. All his work seems to be at Chula’s library. (Thanks too, since his 1992 collected volume on irrigation addresses my research topic for the upcoming Mon history conference at Chula in September, but my focus is on the relation between warfare (c. 1400), demography, and rice cultivation, not cosmology, he might have more pubs on the premodern period but the biblio on his website is only recent pubs)
