The analysis includes various aspects of the campaigners’ motives, strategies, methods, and networks, as well as their relationship with the London mercantile society in nineteenth-century Britain. The author, Yukihisa Kumagai, brings new insights to the question regarding the connection between the rapidly growing provincial mercantile and manufacturing interests and Britain’s economic and imperial policies during the Industrial Revolution.Library of Economic History4.MonopoliesGreat BritainHistory19th centuryTrade associationsGreat BritainHistory19th centuryAsiaCommerceGreat BritainGreat BritainCommerceAsiaMonopoliesHistoryTrade associationsHistory382.095382.095041Kumagai Yukihisa1602500MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820395303321Breaking into the monopoly3926493UNINA
