The books in this series do not set out to compete with standard works on the subject. Their humble aim is to offer a contour-map of the economic development of some important countries in the light of modern economic analysis. Their success will depend on the degree to which they stimulate and help readers to read in an informed way.
The subject of this book is a very wide and difficult one and the authors find it impossible to treat it with any fullness within the space provided for such a book. Consequently, they had to omit many important aspects from consideration, and to concentrate on a few most important aspects, e.g., the net outcome of British rule in India. The book is primarily a study of the relatively recent spread of the Industrial Revolu tion from the countries of the West to one of the oldest civilised countries of the world, viz, India.
