William Dalrymple is a prolific author and co-host of the Empire: World History podcast, examining the empires and events that shaped world history.
In this hard-hitting conversation, Dalrymple gives a potted history of what he argues is the most dominant corporation on Earth: the East India Company.
He examines the company in forensic detail to give us a better understanding of many flashpoints around the world and the conduct of parties involved.
He also analyses the complexities of corporate influence in state business and the weaponisation of narratives to justify tremendous violence, particularly regarding the formation of the state of Israel.
