Investment in Empire: British Railway and Steam Shipping Enterprise in India, 1825-1849 (European Business Ser.)

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.
