Until the 1900s colonial and indigenous governments of Southeast
Asia farmed out the right to run opium, gambling and other
monopolies. Yet by about 1920 all of the major farms had been
abolished and the collection of revenue brought under direct
bureaucratic control. This book tries to explain the rise and
sudden fall of revenue farming to trace the changing fortunes of
the Chinese businessmen who held the major farms and to use the
study of revenue farming to examine the emergence of the modern
state in Southeast Asia and the great economic changes of this
period.
