Inhaltsangabe

The Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History- "The book is a valuable
addition to the growing list of detailed studies of British colonial policy
in this policy in this period and will have to be read by al specialists in
this field."
Source unknown - reveiwed by J.E.Weaver, Associate Professor of Economics,
Drake University
"It is not appropriate to see this book as settling the debate on the
attitude of the British government about industrialisation in its colonies.
It does provide valuable insight into the process of determining colonial
policy."
CBH - "In the final analysis, this important study suggests that what did
or did not happen economically to British colonies in this period owed
little to the Colonial office."
English Historical Review - "..meticulously researched...The historical
accounts are interesting and informative, and the use of interviews is
impressive."
Labour History- " It...provides valuable insight into the process of
determining colonial policy"
History- " A concise conclusion, a helpful alphabetical listing of key
players, and a competent bibliography complete this relevant contribution
to British colonial history
