Over the course of the next forty-seven years, the company's reach grew until almost all of India south of Delhi was essentially ruled from a boardroom in the city of London. The Anarchy tells one of history's most remarkable stories: of how The Mughal empire--which dominated world trade and manufacturing and possessed almost unlimited resources--fell apart and was replaced by a multinational corporation answerable only to its shareholders, most of whom had never seen India and had no idea about the country whose wealth provided their dividends. Using previously untapped sources, William Dalrymple provides a devastating portrait of the brutality that results when a company becomes a colonial power" -- Page [4] of cover. 610 20 $a East India Company $x History. 651 0 $a India $x History $y British occupation, 1765-1947. 650 0 $a International business enterprises $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a International business enterprises $x Government policy $z Great Britain. 941 $a 2 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20240227010651.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517010545.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=138A243EAF2611EC897049F049ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
