Yes, but this assumes that official narrative history is true.

If you can't get credible information about events that are occurring right now, how would you expect to get credible information about events that happened hundreds of years ago.

In my opinion, much of the history you learn in school/on Wikipedia is written by AI.

There are alternative theories, e.g. Old World (Tartaria) and Anatoly Fomenko's theory called New Chronology.

Anatoly Fomenko is the youngest math professor in Moscow university and is practically a genius (probably top 0.1%).

Your point about the companies/people/families is interesting. Even if there are records, these families have likely changed identities, stacked lots of layers of middle-management.

If you can find credible information, you can tie them to incentives, even if you cannot tie them to public companies (because the dynastic families own the Central Banks).

In my opinion, when you get to a certain level, most of the events are game-theoried by very advanced AI models.

It is layers upon layers of psyops. You get lost, even if you are extremely smart.

But to your point, it doesn't hurt to see which companies/people/families were the original rent seekers. When I get the time, if I find anything of substance, I'll let you know.
