    How dare this guy blithely associate one of the most ruthlessly authoritarian state-corporate regimes in human history with "anarchy"? This is #doublethink at it's finest:

      William Dalrymple- the anarchic rise of the East India Company
      from RNZ
      Across a 30 year writing career, Scottish historian, broadcaster and critic William Dalrymple has been preoccupied with the history and culture of India. It's the country he now calls home for half the year, spending summers in his native Scotland. With family connections to India dating back for generations, his latest book The Anarchy traces the 'relentless rise', dazzling heyday, and the sometimes shameful past of the East India Company. At the peak of its powers, this prototype for the vast multinationals of today exerted as much power and influence as any nation state.
