Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book illuminates the tumultuous changes in India's Bengal province after its conquest by the English. The author, a prominent merchant during this period, provides firsthand insights into the economic and political shifts that reshaped the region. The author argues that the East India Company, with good intentions, caused Bengal's once-thriving export trade to decline by altering trade practices. He details how a shift from a bullion-based economy to a monetary one negatively impacted local production and manufacturing quality, leading to a loss of market share in global trade. The author meticulously examines the complex causes of this decline, including the rise of remittance-seeking adventurers, the insatiable demand for raw materials and manufactured goods by European nations, and the challenges of maintaining a healthy balance of trade. He also highlights the impact of famines, corruption, and oppressive practices by both the former rulers and the new British administration. The book not only provides a valuable historical account but also offers a profound analysis of the relationship between trade, currency, and economic prosperity. By exploring the consequences of sudden and drastic economic shifts, this book sheds light on the delicate balance of factors that can make or break a nation's trade and economy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
