An illuminating account of global commerce in the eighteenth-century Indian Ocean world as seen through the lives of three Scottish traders
This book delves into the lives of three Scottish private traders-George Smith of Bombay, George Smith of Canton, and George Smith of Madras-and uses them as lenses through which to explore the inner workings of Britain's imperial expansion and global network of trade, revealing how an unstable credit system and a financial crisis ultimately led to greater British intervention in India and China.
作者简介Jessica Hanser is assistant professor of history at Yale-NUS College in Singapore. Hanser's doctoral dissertation, on which this book is based, won Yale University's Hans Gatzke Prize in European History.
