William Dalrymple's critically acclaimed new history of the East India Company examines how a small trading company was transformed into a colonial power over the course of almost 300 years. In today's concluding episode, he turns to its legacy as a prototype for modern day global corporations with some newly written cautionary reflections. The reader is Alistair McGowan.
