- The book contains evidence-based research conducted over three years. Each chapter is framed by an argument that is technically standalone, meaning that it benefits from being part of an interconnected book project. The contract chapter has seen about 25 percent expansion of a previously published journal article (in Economic History Review). The property chapter draws heavily on approximately 30 influential appeals- court case- judgments to show that political, cultural and juridical considerations interplayed in many colonial judgments. The thesis is original, and this is the first research work of its kind in the economic history literature on colonial law.
