But yes, Parmen is right.
"Government control" is nebulous, it was an animal unto itself of many powerful influences.
Mostly international high finance like the Rothschilds, Sassoons, Seagrams etc. but this is whitewashed from history. The British Crown has been controlled by I international high finance, chiefly the Rothschilds since the Napoleonic wars.

Uh huh. Well, we're in the early-to-mid 1770s when 3/5 of the seats in the governing council of the company were appointed by Parliament and the company was leasing itself back from the government. I'm not going to argue that political influence and monied interests are disjoint, but I don't think the OP was too far off in his characterization.
