By 1929, Swedish industrialist Ivar Kreuger controlled approximately two-thirds of the world's match production through his company Swedish Match, which had factories on every continent; he then used this monopoly to lend $387 million to 15 sovereign governments, creating a cycle where matches secured loans, loans bought monopolies, and monopolies produced matches.

He owned factories on every continent.

Loans for monopolies.
Monopolies for matches.
