Abstract

This chapter is the continuation of Chapter 2, where we calculate the financial contribution of Bengal in financing the industrial revolution in Britain. The savings from the slave trade provided the finance for initial investment for the industrial revolution in Britain along with the profit of the East India Company and the saving of those who were associated with the Company. After the slave trade was banned, Bengal alone financed the industrial revolution of Britain. In this chapter, we calculate the details of the contribution of Bengal in financing the industrial revolution in Britain.
