520 8 |a In the wake of the Seven Years' War and the consolidation of British power on the subcontinent, the French monarchy chartered a new East India Company. The Nouvelle Compagnie des Indes was an attempt to maintain French diplomatic and financial credit among European rivals and trading partners within a region integral to the broader imperial economy. Reimagining French power as subsisting through an informal empire of trade, instead of a territorial empire of conquest, officials and intellectuals sought to remake the trading company as a private, 'purely commercial' actor, rather than a sovereign company-state. This book offers a new interpretation of political economy, imperialism, and the history of the corporation during the late Old Regime and the French Revolution.
