- The book emerged from articles published in BHR, which are original in intent and argument, and significantly extended over two years. It includes new research on three chapters, and four subtopics in other chapters, including business communities and postcolonial (1947-2015) business history. It discusses six communities prominent in global trade and industrialization, with detailed studies of three: Parsi, Marwari, and European (mainly Scottish). Business community material drew on an Oxford Research Encyclopaedia article and a published piece on Parsis: both used historical sources. The postcolonial chapter was novel in scope, questions, and use of five types of print media sources.
