The Economic Revolution of India: The Public Works Policy (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Economic Revolution of India: The Public Works Policy

IN a small book called Discontent and Danger in India, published three years ago, after a year's continuous investigation in India of the principles of British administration, I attempted to give an account of the working of our land-revenue, legal, and financial systems. I called attention to the ceaseless activity which pervaded all the State departments in their desire to convert the country to the English gospel of material progress. I now see that this activity is, for the most part, the in evitable outcome of far-reaching economic changes, and that these changes are themselves closely con nected with the Productive Public Works policy of the Indian Government.
