Book Description
Excerpt from The Trade of the East India Company From 1709 to 1813 The monopoly of the early Chartered Companies had a political rather than an economic basis, and the aid of the government was invoked and cajoled as some outside force, to help one section of the community against all others. Prior to Tudor times, all matters concerning trade had been within the sphere of the Royal prerogative, and this was recognised without question as the con stitutional position, so that the grant of a rich monopoly to a court favourite was considered to be quite within the rights of the Crown. Elizabeth, however, carried the practice to a dangerous excess, and the Commons, now that the bogie of Hapsburg ascendancy was a thing of the past, made a stand against the prodigality with which she granted unnecessary monopolies to her courtiers. The Queen, who was most certainly abusing her privi leges in thus sacrificing to personal favouritism the interests of her subjects in general, was wise enough to withdraw, and the Royal prerogative in the matter was left as a field of controversy for her successors. But, generally speaking, monopolies were not granted for the benefit of the monopolist alone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The East India Company
Author: Tirthankar RoyPublisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 8184756135
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 187
Book Description
This groundbreaking study examines how the East India Company founded an empire in India at the same time it started losing ground in business. For over 200 years, the Company’s vast business network had spanned Persia, India, China, Indonesia and North America. But in the late 1700s, its career took a dramatic turn, and it ended up being an empire builder. In this fascinating account, Tirthankar Roy reveals how the Company’s trade with India changed it—and how the Company changed Indian business. Fitting together many pieces of a vast jigsaw puzzle, the book explores how politics meshed so closely with the conduct of business then, and what that tells us about doing business now. ‘One of the first major attempts to tell the company’s story from an Indian business perspective’—Financial Express

Book Description
First Published in 2005. The authors of this book have tried to portray, in outline, the background of trade against which the Navy of Nelson's time had to operate. The Tarde Winds is the title they have chosen and the book should serve to remind us of many physical facts which then dominated the strategy both of trade and war—the Trade Winds themselves being not the least of them.
