Efficiency and Empire

Om Efficiency and Empire

This provocative essay examines the intersection of power and productivity in the context of British imperialism. The author argues that a culture of efficiency was crucial to the success of the British Empire, allowing it to dominate much of the world in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from economic theory to military history, the author shows how efficiency became both a means and an end of imperial power, shaping everything from factory work to colonial administration. This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
