East India Company O Bharater Arthanitik Itihas by Tirthankar Ray [Hardcover]

Throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the East India Company was the largest and most powerful trading institution in Britain and Asia. The company was founded with the aim of buying Asian products for the British market. This trade resulted in a network that stretched from Persia to Indonesia, from Asia to North America. Almost dramatically in the second half of the eighteenth century, the Company established its empire in India. This book is about the complex interdependence between politics and trade that started the British Raj in India. Combining recent research and historical data, the author also shows the significance of companies in India's economic history, how nineteenth-century globalization changed the structure of business in India, and why the impact of these changes was far-reaching.
