Commerce and the Commonwealth - Business Association, Political Culture, and Economic Governance, 1886–1975

This book offers a fresh take on the economics and politics of the British empire and on the Commonwealth of Nations. It pushes the history of the Commonwealth back to the 1880s and uses evidence from business archives to reconstruct, for the first time, the politics and the economic role of this Empire-Commonwealth from the 1880s to the 1930s.
