Notes:

Scholarly account. Examines the experience of British business in the immediate post colonial period and the limits of the idea that its entrenched and dominant position facilitated the continuation of 'neo-colonialism' which it seeks to qualify. Deals especially with the commodity production industries - tin, rubber, palm oil, etc, and the agency houses. Includes much on Borneo Co Ltd; Guthrie & Co
