{"product_id":"efficiency-and-empire-arnold-white-9781021456236","title":"Efficiency and Empire","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis provocative essay examines the intersection of power and productivity in the context of British imperialism. The author argues that a culture of efficiency was crucial to the success of the British Empire, allowing it to dominate much of the world in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from economic theory to military history, the author shows how efficiency became both a means and an end of imperial power, shaping everything from factory work to colonial administration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work is in the \"public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
