Economic Policy and the True Believer: The Use of Ricardian Rent Theory in the Bombay Survey and Settlement System
The classical political economists, especially James Mill, had a major role in shaping British land tax policy in India.

The effects of expansion of markets on rural income distribution in nineteenth century India
Railroads, Cultivation Patterns, and Foodgrain Availability: India 1860-1900
