He said a whole bunch of nothing
I’m sure the number is much higher as it cannot actually be quantified.
Any methodology couldn’t accurately account for any predicted losses.
You could get an accurate number by looking up the East India Trade Company's annual records in its statements to its shareholders. India was colonised by a private corporation, not a government. So there is reliable accounting data for seeing how much money they made.
If the Company made 45 trillion pounds, which is like US$60 trillion, before inflation, then they would literally have been a thousand times bigger than all of the world's major corporations today combined. It would make Google and Amazon and Apple look like your local corner store in comparison.
Also in the 18th century or 19th century, a single pound was worth a lot of money. One pound in 1750 had the value of 2,400 pounds today. A skilled worker might have had an annual salary of only 10 pounds. 45 trillion colonial era pounds is more money than there is money in the whole world today, and I can't believe that a single company would have made more money in 200 years than the entire world GDP today.
