“Powers and Territories” Collection.
Egypt in the second half of the 19th century was long considered to be
a classic case of debt imperialism. This book aims to revisit
the history of the debt crisis and the British occupation of Egypt, focusing on
looking at the dynamics, issues and conflicts surrounding evaluation
and the control of public resources. He is thus interested in the history of the
production and transnational circulation of quantitative knowledge, to a
period marked by an "avalanche of numbers" and by the multiplication of
debt crises, on a global scale
