Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of British opium policy, from its inception to its impact on India and China. The author meticulously examines the economic, social, and moral consequences of this controversial trade, providing a comprehensive analysis that sheds light on its profound historical implications. Initially introduced as medicine, opium swiftly became a lucrative commodity, particularly for India, generating substantial revenue and balancing trade with China. However, the author argues that this economic gain came at a significant cost. In China, the opium trade led to addiction, poverty, and social unrest. British policy, driven by a desire for profit, exacerbated these problems, fueling resentment and contributing to political instability. The author draws on a wealth of evidence, including Chinese testimony and missionary accounts, to illustrate the devastating effects of opium use on Chinese society. Furthermore, the author explores the moral and ethical implications of the trade, questioning the justification for prioritizing economic gain over human well-being. This book offers a thought-provoking examination of British opium policy, highlighting its lasting impact on the relationship between Britain, India, and China, and prompting readers to reflect on the complex interplay between commerce and morality. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781334000423_0
