Human Capital & Empire: Scotland, Ireland, Wales and British Imperialism in Asia, C.1690-C.1820 by
kiramke's review against another edition
3.0
Just saw "Il capitale umano" at the film fest and am interested to see how the book compares. (2014)
Update: Finally read this. I found it engrossing, and that's with already knowing the story. All credit to the author. I also, however, kept picturing the film, which is a credit to the filmmakers as well. The biggest hindrance for me is that this particular setting invokes some of my own assumptions and maybe prejudices, and for that reason I think I enjoyed the movie a touch more.
