Reviews
This book, by a leading economic historian of South Asia, addresses a long-standing problem .. that of the dependent or independent role of social organization in the working of an economy .. [and] advances our understanding of an important economic region in both the past and the present. Sumit Guha (Journal of Interdisciplinary History)
The book makes an invaluable contribution to Indian economic history, business history, and global history more generally. It is a welcome addition for scholars working in these fields. Latika Chaudhary (Journal of Economic History)
'[A] real tour de force .. a creditable attempt to present a connected and conceptualized narrative of the great transition in the Indian economy from the eighteenth to the twentieth century.' Claude Markovits (Economic History Review)
