This book seeks to enlighten two grey areas of industrial
historiography. Although Bengal industries were globally dominant
on the eve of the industrial revolution, no detailed literature is
available about their later course of development. A series of
questions are involved in it. Did those industries decline during
the spells of British industrial revolution? If yes, what were
their reasons? If not, the general curiosity is: On which merits
could those industries survive against the odds of the
technological revolution? A thorough discussion on these issues
also clears up another area of dispute relating to the occurrence
of deindustrialization in Bengal, and the validity of two competing
hypotheses on it, viz. i) the mainstream hypothesis of market
failures, and ii) the neo-marxian hypothesis of imperialistic state
interventions.
