Whether you're looking at today's FAANG's, or the United Fruit Company of the earlier 1900's, or the businesses (Standard Oil, etc.) broken up via the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, or the British East India Company, or ..., or tax farming back in Ancient Rome, or ... - the stories are extremely similar.
