This chapter builds upon histories of empires that recently have begun to explore the extent to which colonialism impacted social and economic life beyond the geopolitical boundaries of the colonizers and the colonized. This chapter takes Huseby estate in south Sweden as a case for exploring how networks and British imperial connections played an integral role in the restart of the estate’s businesses at the end of the 1860s and in the early 1870s. For the entrepreneurial spirit of Joseph Stephens, the acquisition of the estate was an economic investment made possible through larger British imperial networks and his earnings as railway contractor in India. This chapter argues that colonial capital and networks continued to shape the estate’s business connections for years to come. Sweden’s late industrialization, outward migration, and relatively unexplored commodities from the perspective of colonial markets became an opportunity for Stephens to develop businesses that to a great extent relied on his colonial networks.
