"Politics isn't just about two parties...] US Presidential System #102: ++British Empire start": """ [Tsai 06.6.3=6 #1] Well, whatever the difference, what I'm interested is how all kinds of "corrutions" enabling commanding corporations and their leaders, to get control of especially "democratic" or "republican" governements "of the people, for the people and by the people", to function at the services of them rather than the people. I see "corruption" as their instrument for controlling and utilizing the modern Western or American(?) style democratic government for their profits. I assume that was not the case for the East India Company? http://tinyurl.com/e6h8y "The British Presence in India in the 18th Century", by Professor Peter Marshall: "" At the start of the 18th century, the East India Company's presence in India was one of trade outposts. But by the end of the century, the Company was militarily dominant over South India and rapidly extending northward. "" "" In the first half of the [18th] century, the British were a trading presence at certain points along the coast; from the 1750s they began to wage war on land in eastern and south-eastern India and to reap the reward of successful warfare, which was the exercise of political power, notably over the rich province of Bengal. By the end of the century British rule had been consolidated over the first conquests and it was being extended up the Ganges valley to Delhi and over most of the peninsula of southern India. By then the British had established a military dominance that would enable them in the next fifty years to subdue all the remaining Indian states of any consequence, either conquering them or forcing their rulers to become subordinate allies. At the beginning of the 18th century English commerce with India was nearly a hundred years old. It was transacted by the East India Company, which had been given a monopoly of all English trade to Asia by royal grant at its foundation in 1600. Through many vicissitudes, the Company had evolved into a commercial concern only matched in size by its Dutch rival. Some 3000 shareholders subscribed to a stock of £3 200 000; a further £6 million was borrowed on short-term bonds; twenty or thirty ships a year were sent to Asia and annual sales in London were worth up to £2 million. Twenty-four directors, elected annually by the shareholders ran the Company's operations from its headquarters in the City of London. "" """
