This volume provides a synthesis of some of the most important themes to emerge from the recent proliferation of specialized scholarship on the period of Indias transition to colonialism and seeks to reassess the role of Indians in the politics and economics of early colonialism. It discusses new views of the «decline of the Mughals» and the role of the Indian capitalists in the expansion of the English East India Companys trade and urban settlements.
