The anthology challenges the prevailing narrative of early modern Bengal's economic decline prior to British conquest. Utilizing original sources from both European and Indian archives, the essays reveal that Bengal was economically prosperous in the mid-eighteenth century, countering the misconception of an impending crisis. This collection offers a nuanced understanding of the region's history, emphasizing its economic strength and political stability during this period.
