Britain’s drain of India, which inspires outlandish claims by leftist historians, is a concept based on flawed method. Only one definition of drain in international transactions is possible: country pays more (or receives lower price) for a transaction due to its colonial status.

This is the price-gap definition of exploitation. In a 2018 paper in European Review of Econ. History, Federico Tadei applied it to measure ‘extraction’ in colonial West Africa. There can be no other sensible definition of ‘extraction,’ ‘drain,’ ‘loot’ or ‘unilateral transfer’.

Thanks Tirthankar Roy for highlighting my work. For those interested, here is a link to the full paper doi.org/10.1093/ereh/h…
