Draws on a LSE PhD thesis - 'Rise of Business Corporations in India and their Development, 1851-1900', 1965. Deals with the rise of joint stock corporations in India from 1851 when company registration in India began, offering some insights into the extent of involvement by British capital. Much statistical material notably for businesses in the jute, cotton, tea, mining, finance and transport sectors. Much about the agency house system.
