Awesome gutsy comment Natalie and covering close to much that I have read also. Horrors so real, male driven Treaty of Tordesillas,VOC, EIC (well, Elizabeth l charter) opium cannonballs counted in thousands of tons. Follow 2 Hong Kong companies and a Howqua you will find 15 US presidents, an HSBC chairman, the MIC and a large chunk of the funding for rail and the industrial revolution pollution. One now has close to half a million employees mostly in SE Asia. The irony of Chinese Century of Humiliation is they now produce the opioid for Fentanyl. Empire indeed !
This will take some time to absorb as each part so fascinating and so lost within mainstream flows of ideas. I am researching women from different cultures for a Quaker conference and will try to present their voices but trying to make it contemporary - peace / human rights activists and environmental ones. Would love your thoughts on this.

Fabulous music! And yes indeed, nothing changes:
"I hate the rich man moaning as if he were poor."
As true today as in 9th century Constantinople, and still ignored by many who claim to be Christian... Naming no names!
