A chapter in Merchants of the Raj, 1992, pp 365-383 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract How do the ‘Merchants of the Raj’ — of yesterday and today — sum up what the managing-agency system achieved? There is an overall feeling that the success and value of the system depends on the context of the time-period concerned. Most feel that in their heyday, the managing agents played an important role, but few regret their passing, especially by the fourth quarter of the twentieth century.
