| Abstract: | In synthesizing recent studies of the relationships between British businesses and British governments during decolonization, the article takes issue with the "gentlemanly capitalism" paradigm. Imperial business and imperial government did not represent a cohesive elite; private and public agencies were frequently divided on key tenets of decolonization strategy; and, more often than not, it was broader macroeconomic and geostrategic factors rather than the agendas of particular business interests, that informed imperial policy. |
