This Company Controls Almost Everything You Buy. It quietly became a top-three shareholder of almost every major company on Earth, using your own index-fund and pension money — and no one ever voted for it.
You've probably heard "BlackRock owns everything." That's not quite true, and the real story is stranger: it doesn't own the world, it holds it — on behalf of millions of ordinary people who never realized they were handing one company the most powerful seat in modern finance. This is how it got there, and why it may already be too big to stop.
