Description
Historians typically regard the British Empire as a state project aided by corporations. The author turns this view on its head, arguing that corporations drove colonial expansion and governance, creating an overlap between sovereign and commercial power that continues to shape the relationship between nations and corporations in the twenty-first century. --,Adapted from publisher's description.
