Tirthankar Roy Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

Distinct in its inclusive coverage of different methods of analysis and its comparative approach, this pioneering text provides readers with an essential first introduction to the economic history of colonialism, helping them develop informed views of colonialism as a force in shaping the modern world.

In a journey spanning 2,000 years, this book describes the ties of trade, migration and investment between India and the rest of the world, showing how changing patterns of globalisation reverberated on economic policy, politics and political ideology within India. A global history written on India's terms, this book marks a new approach to the study of Indian history.

Focusing on the evolution of traditional industries in South Asia, this book challenges the notion that colonialism solely harmed craft manufacturing. Through research on five specific industries, it reveals that these sectors adapted positively during the Industrial Revolution, influencing the development of major industries in post-independence India. Tirthankar Roy provides a nuanced perspective on the interplay between tradition and modernity, offering valuable insights into the region's economic and social history.
