What Were the Primary Causes of 15th to 19th Century British Chartered Companies' Failures?
Upvote:1
The question here is how did those chartered companies become defunct.
While there were some spectacular failures like the South Sea Bubble - most companies would have evolved, split, consolidated, and so on as markets and legislation shifted (nationalisation, anti-monopoly, etc)...
Meaning, there are probably many companies that are descendant of those originals.
You mention Company of Merchant Adventurers of London - which had it's monopoly taken away after the Glorious Revolution, but continued successfully for at least 200 years after that.
