Scholars have recently begun to pay renewed attention to the
economics of empire, focusing in particular on the requirements of
metropolitan Britain's economy and on the activities of imperial
businesses. Within this broad field, financial questions, not least
the subject of investment overseas or the 'export of capital', have
long had a prominent place, and have been equally affected by the
development of new appraoches. The consensus as to the volume and
direction of Britain's overseas investments is being vigorously
challenged. Technological advances have encouraged on a greatly
enlarged scale the compilation and analysis of information about
British investments and shareholdings abroad. The gradual easing of
restrictions on business records has increased facilities for the
study, especially, of imperial and colonial banking. Work on the
financial policies of central governments is revealing much of
interest to students of twentieth-century colonial rule and
decolonization. This collection of essays brings together a
selection of the latest research on these and other themes, and,
for comparative purposes, includes examples of recent continental
work.
