Please read all the instructions carefully as each point is important:
Expected to write an essay evaluating an
important topic in economic history. The paper
should evaluate ideas from the perspectives of economic theory and empirical evidence, must base the analysis on economic theory, historical examples, and the economics literature — not expected to conduct original research. Expected to compare, contrast, critique and connect the literature.
Evaluation is based on: the quality of your research (how relevant are your references; are you missing any obvious references; have you correctly interpreted your references; etc.), the quality of your analysis (do your arguments make logical sense; do they make reference to economic theory; have you acknowledged and attempted to address potential criticisms; etc.), and the quality of your writing (flow, style, spelling, grammar, etc.)
Double-spaced, Times New Roman, 2000-2500 words not including references (at least 4 academic sources), any citation style
TOPIC: Describe how British colonial rule affected the economic development of India in the
long-run. What (if any) lasting impact did colonial rule have on institutions, culture,
education and/or infrastructure? Do these effects continue to be felt today, and if so,
why have they been so long-lasting?
