Both the EIC and its Dutch equivalent VOC were eventually dissolved by their respective governments. This disarms people from viewing even rampant corporations as truly dangerous; even corporations that fielded armies and waged wars ultimately weren't beyond the reach of the law.
- hermitcrab 2y agoI understand that the EIC were only dissolved by Britain, after 274 years, when it was no longer profitable/viable.
