Discover the compelling economic history of South India in ‘The Transition to Colonial Economy.’ This essential read from The Bookish Owl challenges the long-held notion of centuries of Indian poverty.

Explore how the advent of British colonial rule marked the beginning of their economic decline. Essential for students of Indian history, colonial studies, and economic history, this powerful revisionist work offers a new perspective on Britain’s role in India. A must-have for your collection on global economic transformations.
