Through the application of economic concepts and theories, alongside extensive new data, Bishnupriya Gupta of the University of Warwick constructs a new framework for comprehending the economic impacts and legacies of British rule. She traces India\u2019s transition from a pre-colonial economy to colonial rule and assesses its economic performance from a comparative perspective, particularly in the context of the Great Divergence between Europe and Asia. Finally, she examines India\u2019s post-independence economy and the evolution of social and economic inequality through to the turn of the twenty-first century.<\/p>\n<p>Date: December 16, 2024<\/p>\n<p>Time: 12:30 &#8211; 14:00<br \/>\n12:30 (Hong Kong\/Beijing\/Singapore)<br \/>\n23:30 (-1, New York)|20:30 (-1, Los Angeles)|04:30 (London)|13:30 (Tokyo)|15:30 (Sydney)<\/p>\n<p>Venue: KK301, K.K.
