Human capital and empire compares the role of Scots, Irish and
Welsh within the English East India Company between c. 1690 and c.
1820. It focuses on why the three groups developed such distinctive
and different profiles within the corporation and its wider
colonial activities in Asia. Besides contributing to the national
histories of Scotland, Ireland and Wales, it uses these societies
to ask how 'poorer' regions of Europe participated in global
empire. The chapters cover involvement in the Company's
administrative, military, medical, maritime and private trade
activities. The analysis conceives of sojourning to Asia as a cycle
of human capital, with human mobility used to access a key sector
of world trade. As well as providing essential new statistical
information on Irish, Scottish and Welsh participation, it makes a
significant contribution to ongoing debates on the legacies of
empire. -- .
