Description
The monetary world of the eighteenth-century eastern subcontinent was fundamentally pluralistic: in any given district, taxes might be stipulated in one currency, textile advances made in another, wholesale contracts for specific commodities in others again, and everyday marketplace purchases in yet another. The social geography of currencies was shaped by both the functional differentiation among payment concatenations, and the ecological conditions that channeled their circulation.
