Book review: law and the economy in colonial India by Tirthankar Roy and Anand V. Swamy

In Law and Economy in Colonial India, Tirthankar Roy and Anand V. Swamy explore the origins of British law and continued legal impediments of the Indian economy today. Reserving high praise for this nuanced book, Peter Robb finds it refreshing to encounter such dispassionate, evidence-based analysis of subjects that are so often treated through polemic.
