His book Mercantilism and East India Trade was a pioneering work of British economic history and Britain’s relation with India in the seventeenth to eighteenth centuries. He was much ahead of his time in thinking seriously about the reasons for India’s poverty under British rule and after. He also analysed with empathy the condition of underprivileged people in a highly hierarchical and unequal society, and he had concrete suggestions regarding how to improve their lot.
