World Silver Flows and Monetary Factors as a Force of International Economic Integration, 1658–1758
The centuries spanning the discovery of America (1492) and the termination of the Napoleonic Wars (1814) have exercised a remarkable fascination for the historians of Europe. Western societies, their way of life and thinking, experienced in those years an internal qualitative expansion which also contained a geographical or spatial expression. It is clear that money and prices, whether measured in units of commodities such as a basket of rice, a …

Precious metals and mining in the New World: 1500–1800
The discovery of large quantities of gold and silver in the New World following the voyage of Christopher Columbus had a major impact on the subsequent history of the world economy.

The sudden increase in the supply of gold and silver greatly increased the capacity of individual countries such as Spain and Portuga…

A note on Ibn Taghrī Birdī's description of Chinese ships in Aden and Jedda
The Ming maritime expeditions organized by Cheng Ho during the reign of Emperor Yung-lo have been studied intensively by Sinologists and the historians of the eastern Indian Ocean. The scattered references in the Islamic sources to the arrival of Chinese ships at the Middle Eastern ports on the other hand have not been properly collated with the evidence from Chinese historical sources. While working on Ibn Taghrī Birdī's history of Mamlūk Egypt,…

Before the age of Industrial Revolution, the great Asian civilisations - whether located in the Middle East, India, South-East Asia, or the Far East - constituted areas not only of high culture but also of advanced economic development. They were the First World of human societies. This 1985 book examines one of the driving forces of that historical period: the long chain of oceanic trade which stretched from the South China Sea to the eastern Me…

European Trade with India
In so far as the foreign trade of the Indian sub-continent is concerned, the aspirations and the activities of the Estado da India represented several institutional innovations. As a result of the Portuguese naval watch, at the end of the sixteenth century few Indian ships could venture to east Africa, the Spice Islands, or to China and Japan unless, the shipowners entered into indirect partnerships with Portuguese officials or merchants in Goa. …

Classical Political Economy and British Policy in India
This book examines the effect of Classical political economy — the economic and monetary writings of Adam Smith, Ricardo, Malthus, the Mills and others — on the policy-making of the British government in India in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Professor Ambirajan shows how the economic doctrines of laissez-faire individualism and the freedom of market forces were instilled into the British administrative class. The East India Compa…

Some Reflections on the Town and Country in Mughal India
There can be few aspects of Indian studies more neglected than that of historical geography. Within this larger area of neglect, urban history occupies a special place. The indifference with which Indian historians have approached the urban heritage of the subcontinent is all the more difficult to understand because to contemporary European visitors, the merchants and other travellers, the towns and cities of Mughal India held a profound fascinat…

India's International Economy in the Nineteenth Century: An Historical Survey
This paper stems from a dissatisfaction with the present state of historical writings on India's international economy in the nineteenth century. While the task of reducing the mass of literature available on the subject to a coherent and meaningful survey is a difficult and perhaps not a very fruitful exercise, it is rather easier to understand why such writings on Indian economic history in general and trade history in particular have remained …
