… The dutch east india company hasn’t been relevant for more than 200 years, but like fair enough. If you want to have “capitalist megacorp fightclub” that could absolutely be one of those few I mentioned. I’m gonna defend that “the primary architects of the global financial transaction system” are good entries onto the list though…
I feel like if you want to blame a company for creating the modern financial system, John Pierpont Morgan and the company which bears his name are probably 10x more responsible.
And that company isn’t even a little bit relevant right now, nor has my intent ever been to figure out which company is the “most to blame”. But neat, thanks for sharing your opinion, I will continue to consider Visa and Mastercard to be among the few absolute worst offenders.

J. P. Morgan is absolutely relevant in the modern day.
… J P Morgan Chase is not relevant right now because this is an article about Visa and Mastercard.
