Between Monopoly and Free Trade pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
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, and she sheds light on the related problems of why England experienced rapid economic development and how the relationship between Europe and Asia shifted in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Though the Company held a monopoly on English overseas trade to Asia, the Court of Directors extended the right to trade in Asia to their employees, creating an unusual situation in which employees worked both for themselves and for the Company as overseas merchants. Building on the organizational infrastructure of the Company and the sophisticated commercial institutions of the markets of the East, employees constructed a cohesive internal network of peer communications that directed English trading ships during their voyages. This network integrated Company operations, encouraged innovation, and increased the Company’s flexibility, adaptability, and responsiveness to local circumstance.
Between Monopoly and Free Trade highlights the dynamic potential of social networks in the early modern era.
第二章的論點在第七章又重復一遍,一句話的論點寫成瞭一本書,但觀點還是挺新穎的,方法嚴謹。
評分文筆不好。重復很多,應該是社會科學傢的做法。但是結構清晰,理論有力。影響深遠。

評分課程材料讀瞭第一章和第三章。新製度經濟學、分析社會學和比較社會學的方法來研究英國印度公司,重點是提齣瞭private trade的概念,並分析瞭印度公司運作的模式。是一種垂直的、層級的模式與橫嚮的由船長、船員、代理人等公司雇員私人組成的社會網絡的有機結閤。作者認為公司的成功恰恰在這兩種組織模式的結閤。第三章進行瞭比較研究,將英國的private trade分成三個階段1600-1660、1660-1760和1760-1830,中間階段是官方閤法化之下公司領導層和雇員之間的協同閤作。同時和當時的葡萄牙、荷蘭(這兩個和英國公司一起是當時印度前三大)以及法國、丹麥、奧地利等公司相比較,指齣瞭英國公司的製度模式。問題在於理論層麵過於彎彎繞,其實很簡單的東西非要說的復雜。。。
