Opis

Across the modern era, corporations have grown from trade entities into global powers rivaling entire states. Mega-Corps investigates this transformation, tracing how companies from the East India Company to today's tech giants have shaped economies, politics, and even wars. Blending economic history with investigative narrative, the book explores how private enterprises have influenced legislation, manipulated markets, and redefined sovereignty itself. Through archival evidence and contemporary analysis, it reveals the recurring pattern of corporate authority expanding beyond accountability. This historical study invites readers to consider whether control over resources, data, and infrastructure has shifted from governments to boardrooms-and what that means for the balance of power in the twenty-first century.

When profit outweighs sovereignty, nations become the clients of commerce.
