The English East India Company was one of the most powerful and enduring organizations
in history. Between Monopoly and Free Trade locates the source of that success in
the innovative policy by which the Company's Court of Directors granted employees
the right to pursue their own commercial interests while in the firm's employ. Exploring
trade network dynamics, decision-making processes, and ports and organizational context,
Emily Erikson demonstrates why the English East India Company was a dominant force
in the expansion of trade between Europe and Asia
