Investment in Empire: British Railway and Steam Shipping Enterprise in India, 1825-1849

by Daniel Thorner

The subject of this work is the process by which steamship and railway lines for India were launched. These undertakings, particularly the railways, involved a large-scale investment of British capital in India. The terms under which this capital moved, and, more precisely, the struggle to secure these terms, form the heart of this study.
