The Business of Empire assesses the domestic impact of British
imperial expansion by analysing what happened in Britain following
the East India Company's acquisition of a vast territorial empire
in South Asia. Drawing on a mass of hitherto unused material
contained in the company's administrative and financial records,
the book offers a reconstruction of the inner workings of the
company as it made the remarkable transition from business to
empire during the late-eighteenth century. H. V. Bowen profiles the
company's stockholders and directors and examines how those in
London adapted their methods, working practices, and policies to
changing circumstances in India. He also explores the company's
multifarious interactions with the domestic economy and society,
and sheds important new light on its substantial contributions to
the development of Britain's imperial state, public finances,
military strength, trade and industry. This book will appeal to all
those interested in imperial, economic and business history.
