Imperial Inequalities: The Politics of Economic Governance Across European Empires

This volume examines the unequal politics of economic governance across European empires and the ongoing legacies of such histories. It focuses on processes of colonial taxation and, primarily, national welfare to examine the ways in which today’s global inequalities are the result of such connected histories.
