In Empire, Incorporated, historian Philip J. Stern examines how corporations helped build, govern and expand the British Empire. Challenging the traditional view that companies merely served governments, Stern argues that commercial corporations were central actors in colonial expansion, controlling territory, organising trade and exercising forms of political power. From the East India Company and other chartered enterprises to later imperial ventures, the book explores the relationship between business, government and empire. It offers a detailed history of how corporate power shaped British colonialism and its lasting global legacy.
