"The East India Trade in the Xviith Century" offers a meticulous examination of the commercial activities and economic policies that defined one of the most transformative periods in global maritime history. Shafaat Ahmad Khan provides a scholarly analysis of the East India Company's rise during the 1600s, charting its evolution from a struggling venture into a dominant force in international trade. The work explores the intricate relationship between the English state and its merchant classes, detailing the debates over mercantilism, protectionism, and the socioeconomic impact of Asian imports on the British domestic market.

Through a rigorous study of contemporary records and parliamentary documents, this book illuminates the intense rivalries between European powers-including the Dutch, Portuguese, and French-as they competed for control over the lucrative Indian trade routes. Khan also addresses the internal administration of the Company and its interactions with the Mughal Empire, providing critical context for the transition from purely commercial interests toward the beginnings of political dominion. As a foundational text in the field of economic history, "The East India Trade in the Xviith Century" remains an essential resource for understanding the roots of modern global commerce and the historical foundations of the British Empire in Asia.
