Publisher's Note An AltaMira Press Book Arun Banerji demonstrates fairly conclusively that India's economic sluggishness at the end of the 19th century lay in the fiscal policies of the colonial government, which had far-reaching and adverse effects on the country.
Industry Reviews A banker with wide experience in Indian and international finances, Banerji offers an explanation for the hitherto baffling stagnation of the Indian economy at the end of the 19th century when most other economies were catching fire. Colonial government policies concerning government finance; state investment in public works, including railways and irrigation; and the drain of resources out of the country, he says, severely weakened both the economic and social health. Of interest to students of economic history and colonial politics as well as of Indian history. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or. Reference & Research Book News (02/01/1996)
