摘要
: 
"An illuminating account of global commerce in the eighteenth-century Indian Ocean world as seen through the lives of three Scottish traders. This book delves into the lives of three Scottish private traders--George Smith of Bombay, George Smith of Canton, and George Smith of Madras--and uses them as lenses through which to explore the inner workings of Britain's imperial expansion and global network of trade, revealing how an unstable credit system and a financial crisis ultimately led to greater British intervention in India and China."--Back cover.
