Abstract
This chapter examines the methods of western capital accumulation in South-East Asia; the structure of western business management, and the responses of western businesses to changes in commodity production — principally the changes in the rubber industry in the interwar years. It focuses on the agency house, that major form of western commercial structure which was almost synonymous with metropolitan capital imports into primary production throughout the region.
