Its rigorous, multilevel analysis topples conventional explanations of the relation between British imperialism and capitalism.

"Erikson's extraordinary book is, on the one hand, a major contribution to the study of the development of the British East India Company and its role in the formation of capitalism and British Eastern imperial expansion, and on the other, an exemplary and essential work in historical and analytic sociology. Its rigorous, multilevel analysis topples conventional explanations of the relation between British imperialism and capitalism. The book also brilliantly demonstrates the full potential of network analysis for the understanding of the diffusion of information, while remaining sensitive to the roles of context, locality, and culture." --Orlando Patterson, Harvard University "This innovative book makes an essential contribution to debates on the origins of capitalism, imperialism, and globalization, and economic and organizational sociology. With rich qualitative studies of a number of key Asian ports, Erikson's network analysis uses the most sophisticated techniques and her findings are accurate and honestly presented."--Richard Lachmann, University at Albany, State University of New York "This is a significant reassessment of one of the most important organizations in European and, indeed, world economic history: the English East India Company. To my knowledge, nobody has done what Erikson accomplishes in this book: a systematic quantitative network study based on primary sources which establishes conclusively how the private traders channeled the growth and success of the EIC."--Henning Hillmann, University of Mannheim
