chartered imperial company

East India Company @ 1770

A British chartered corporation exercising revenue and governing power in Bengal at the time of the 1770 famine. The snapshot scores as malignant because commercial extraction had become governing power, with famine, coercive revenue policy, and imperial monopoly wrapped in corporate form.

Why this matters: This is the classic calibration case for a private corporation becoming a government.
