The VOC monopolized the particular fields that they traded in such as spices which was 60 percent of world trade (Anderson, James 205). They traded 6 million pounds of cargo annually from countries all over the world. For example they exported copper from Japan, silver “Rupees” from India, and textiles from across the globe (Anderson, James 208). The VOC received these natural resources through treaties. As they proposed treaties, less powerful countries would not deny a trade agreement, for fear of the VOC’s power and dominance. Countries like Japan were often thrusted into agreements that may not have been mutually beneficial (Taylor, Larissa 74). By monopolizing these important natural resources the Dutch East India Company controlled important aspects of the economy like prices and quantity available. The Dutch East India company did not grow to become such an influential power overnight. Through the introduction of stocks they allowed people to invest in their business. They assisted in forming the first and oldest stock exchange in Amsterdam, Netherlands ("Dutch East India Company (DEIC)/VOC | South African History Online"). This paved the way for stock exchanges to become a common part of the modern world. The VOC grew immensely over the course of a short time period.

The migrants started as clerks, brokers or agents to the larger Marwaris firms. The early Marwaris migrants helped the latter ones to enter behind them.

From being the employees of the jute firms, the Marwaris bought over the stocks the many jute firms, which were previously under the British merchant houses. With past managerial experience, they floated shares to build new jute mills and other companies. Due to the oversubscription and stock exchange regulations, the Marwaris were able to control a mill even if they own less than 10 to 20 percent of the shares. This led them in dominating the

The world just then was developing an almost limitless appetite for cotton, and in the deep South enormous quantities of cotton could be raised cheaply with slave labor. Export figures show what happened. In 1800 the United States had exported $5,000,000 worth of cotton 7 per cent of the nations total exports. By 1810 this figure had tripled, by 1840 it had risen to 63,000,000, and by 1860 cotton exports were worth $191,000,000 57 per cent of the value of all American exports. The South had become a cotton empire nearly four million slaves were employed, and slavery looked like an absolutely essential element in Southern prosperity. But if slavery paid it left men with uneasy consciences. This unease became most obvious in the North, where a man who demanded the abolition of slavery could comfort himself with the reflection that the financial loss which abolition would entail would, after all, be borne by somebody else his neighbor to the
