They forced ordinary people to the brink of starvation and made it impossible for them to afford goods.
Yet they take one person's money to enjoy the fruits of the labor of most people.
This meant that the Royal Trading Company, which could have sold a thousand items, could only sell ten or even fewer, and hundreds of times the profit simply vanished!
