"The Proper Limits of the Government's Interference with the Affairs of the East-India Company" by John, Earl of Stair is a political treatise written during the late 18th century. The book addresses the government's role and extent of interference in the management of the East-India Company, reflecting on the broader implications of such governance on the state of British finances and colonial management. The likely topic centers around the critique of government overreach and the proper functioning of commercial enterprises in colonial contexts. In this work, Stair vehemently argues against the proposed legislative measures that aim to consolidate the struggling affairs of the East-India Company with the state, viewing such actions as detrimental to both the Company and the wider interests of Britain. He explores the reasons behind the call for intervention, dismissing claims of bankruptcy and the alleged need for humanitarian reforms in India as pretexts for government control. Instead, he advocates for a return to a system where the Company operates independently, suggesting that past successes were undermined by governmental interference. Throughout the text, Stair emphasizes the need for integrity in governance, cautioning against a descent into bureaucratic chaos characterized by self-serving interests. Ultimately, he calls for prudent management and respect for the Company's role in Britain's economic prosperity.
