Efficiency And Empire

By Arnold White

Book Overview

Efficiency and Empire is a book written by Arnold White that explores the relationship between efficiency and imperialism during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author argues that the success of the British Empire was largely due to its ability to implement efficient systems of governance and administration, which allowed it to exert control over vast territories and populations around the world. The book examines various aspects of this relationship, including the role of technology, the impact of colonialism on indigenous peoples, and the ways in which efficiency was used to justify imperial expansion. Through a combination of historical analysis and contemporary commentary, Efficiency and Empire offers a thought-provoking perspective on the complex and often controversial legacy of British imperialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
