{"product_id":"bengal-industries-and-the-british-indrajit-ray-9781138807723","title":"Bengal Industries and the British Industrial Revolution (1757-1857)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book seeks to enlighten two grey areas of industrial historiography. Although Bengal industries were globally dominant on the eve of the industrial revolution, no detailed literature is available about their later course of development. A series of questions are involved in it. Did those industries decline during the spells of British industrial revolution? If yes, what were their reasons? If not, the general curiosity is: On which merits could those industries survive against the odds of the technological revolution? A thorough discussion on these issues also clears up another area of dispute relating to the occurrence of deindustrialization in Bengal, and the validity of two competing hypotheses on it, viz. i) the mainstream hypothesis of market failures, and ii) the neo-marxian hypothesis of imperialistic state interventions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Indrajit Ray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138807729\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138807723\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Indrajit Ray","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48087774855423,"sku":"9781138807723","price":68.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_374904a7-a10d-4a6c-a299-1d7b26483298.jpg?v=1769101331","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bengal-industries-and-the-british-indrajit-ray-9781138807723","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
