It also influenced the historiography of colonialism and India’s economic polices after independence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this, the second volume in the Debates in Indian history and society series, two contexts to this engagement are explored-India’s subordinate colonial status, and the creation and ordering of the set of markets, institutions, relations, and ideas that constituted the world economy. Contemporary and historical analyses have tended to privilege the former. But as \u003cbr\u003eG Balachandran argues in his introduction, it is essential to repair the neglect of the latter context. This will allow for a better understanding of the pasts of our globalized present, as well as of the conjoined histories of the modern British empire and the world economy. Thus while some essays consider India’s position as a colonial economy, other essays shift the discussion towards a wider focus on the interweaving and mutually-reinforcing contexts of colonialism and contemporary globalization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlong with recounting traditional debates, this volume also offers refreshing new perspectives on an important field of historical enquiry that is of great contemporary relevance. A useful reader for undergraduate and postgraduate students, this book will also interest scholars of Indian and imperial economic history, as well as informed general readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREVIEWS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaken as a whole this is a useful volume as it gives the general readers some idea about the revisionist critiques that have developed in the recent times on nationalist spokesmen’s views on some of the most important aspects of Indo-British relations.\u003cbr\u003e-M Mufakharul Islam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume of articles, seeks to re-evaluate the empire.\u003cbr\u003e-Sunil Jain, Business Standard\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeneral Editors’ Preface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTables and Figures\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndia’s International Economy in the Nineteenth Century: A Historical Survey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Drain of Wealth and Indian Nationalism at the Turn of the Century\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTributes and Transfers from Colonial India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Great Depression (1973-96 and the Third World: with Special Reference to India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgriculture in Slump: The Peasant Economy of East and North Bengal in the 1930s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndian Monetary Vicissitudes: An Interlude\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBritain and the Indian Currency Crisis, 1930-2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Depression\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes on Contributors\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"G Balachandran \/ Oxford University Press \/ Paperback","offer_id":40785587634345,"sku":"14755","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/14755.jpg?v=1625524967","url":"https:\/\/indiaclub.com\/de\/products\/14755-india-and-the-world-economy-1850-1950","provider":"The India Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
