In seventeenth-century India, the Marathas were rooted in the vocation of cultivation, working as tillers, peasants and landowners. They were also active in the field of politics and administration, and the rulers of the Maratha clan were revered for service to their subjects.
In his classic work The Economy of the Maratha Kingdom, historian Kedar Phalke, through his in-depth research, provides an excellent account of the Maratha Kingdom’s economy, administration and social structure in seventeenth-century India.
This book sheds light on a variety of issues that played a role in the rise of the kingdom, including revenue administration, agrarian economy, markets of the seventeenth century, sources of revenue, diffusion and consumption of revenue, foreign trade, currency system, demography and Mughal decline.
