description: In this collection written over a period of almost two decades, Peter Robb, an important historian of the Empire, explores the connections between agrarian policy, revenue, property law, and commercial production; and the emergence of political identities. He investigates issues like economic development, tenancy acts, peasant stratification, "capitalist" agriculture, and definitions of labor in relation to the British Empire.
