In this opening session we chart the throughlines of agriculture, technology, energy, pharma and global trade, and more to better understand the power dynamics of the global economy across geographies and peoples. In the process, we explore the story of the growth of corporate power, monopolies and wealth accumulation, as a story of continued and intensified colonialism into the modern day. What is the cost of these continuing forms of power?
