Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. This book examines Adam Smiths perspectives on the India question during a pivotal juncture when the East India Company evolved from a commercial enterprise into a de facto imperial authority in India. Smith astutely recognised the significance of this transition and anticipated its potential to unleash societal change. Yet despite the importance of his observations in The Wealth of Nations, Smiths treatment of the East India Companys operations and governance in India has received limited scholarly attention. This study addresses that oversight by arguing that Smiths reflections on India constitute an essential dimension of his political economy.Situating Smith within broader eighteenth-century debates on trade, colonial policy, and the moral legitimacy of empire, this study reinterprets his position on the East India Companys monopoly, the integration of Indo-European commerce, and the consequences of territorial acquisition in India. Challenging prevailing historiographical interpretations, it offers a new reading of Smiths views on the transfer of Indian territories to the British Crown. Although Smith neither visited India nor engaged directly in colonial administration or trade, his sustained interest in Indian affairs profoundly shaped his thinking on governance, commerce, and imperial reform. The book highlights Smiths recognition of Indias wealth, his awareness of the strategic importance of the East Indies trade, and his call for institutional reforms to reconcile the East India Companys interests with Britains evolving imperial responsibilities. In doing so, it dispels the assumption that Smiths theories were detached from the economic and political realities of empire and instead positions him as a key figure in the intellectual history of imperial thought. Bridging the fields of economic thought, imperial history, and Indian historiography, this book offers a fresh perspective on Smiths enduring relevance.At a time when questions about global trade, corporate power, and the legacies of empire remain deeply contested, Adam Smith and the East India Company revisits the early economic, political, and diplomatic entanglements between Britain and India, revealing how historical ties continue to shape the present. These insights are especially timely today, as the United Kingdom and India have recently concluded a new free trade agreement aimed at enhancing mutual market accessincluding in Indian textiles and gems, commodities once central to eighteenth-century trade flows and formative in shaping empire and global commerce. History reminds us that such exchanges are seldom without precedent. Economic exchange in the age of Smith laid the foundations for enduring commercial relationships and illustrates how contemporary agreements often reflect historical patterns forged in the crucible of early globalisation.This study will appeal to scholars and advanced research students in the history of economic thought, Indian economic history, business history, imperial studies, and eighteenth-century intellectual history.
