Description

Explore a new perspective on the foundations of the British Empire in India with The Company-State. While many historians view the 1757 victory over the forces of the nawab of Bengal as the official birth of British rule, this work challenges that traditional narrative. Philip J. Stern examines the century of political and intellectual history leading up to this period to provide a deeper understanding of the early East India Company. This book offers a detailed look at the nature of the corporation during its formative years. Rather than focusing solely on financial gains, the text investigates how the Company functioned as a political entity. It reveals a history of a corporation deeply involved in the science of colonial governance, looking beyond the bottom line to understand its role in shaping history. This is an essential read for students and historians interested in business and economic history, colonial studies, and the evolution of corporate sovereignty.
