Publisher's Synopsis
This pamphlet, written in 1813, marked a significant turning point in the history of British colonialism. The East India Company, which had held a monopoly on trade with India since the early 17th century, was facing increasing criticism and pressure for reform. This pamphlet argues in favor of the renewal of the Company's charter, but also calls for greater accountability and transparency in its operations. The debates and issues raised in this document continue to resonate in discussions of corporate responsibility and globalization today.
