"Miembro de la Royal Historical Society y de la Royal Asiatic Society, doctor honorario de varias universidades británicas e indias y autor de libros y ensayos sobre la India actual o su pasado colonial, advierte en su última obra, La anarquía, publicada en España en 2021, del inquietante paralelismo entre el inmenso poder que acumuló una empresa privada hace tres siglos, la Compañía Británica de las Indias, que manipuló gobiernos y derribó el imperio mogol, con las prerrogativas que hoy disfrutan las grandes corporaciones."

    Come to think of it, I don't often roll through a single author's work much. Usually I'll take off on a topic (sort of nonfiction-heavy these days) and follow a thread from there.
