The Political Economy of the Raj: The Decline of Colonialism

Author

Listed:
  • Tomlinson, B. R.

Abstract

Taking a fresh look at the institutions of economic management in colonial India explains much about the history of the last decades of the raj. The concept of political economy—the interaction of economic forces and political choices—provides a useful approach to the study of government economic policy and practice that can give a new perspective on the history of the late British Empire as a whole.
