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. 410 0$aLibrary of Economic History$v4. 606 $aMonopolies$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aTrade associations$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aAsia$xCommerce$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xCommerce$zAsia 615 0$aMonopolies$xHistory 615 0$aTrade associations$xHistory 676 $a382.095 676 $a382.095041 700 $aKumagai$b Yukihisa$01602500 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820395303321 996 $aBreaking into the monopoly$93926493 997 $aUNINA
