Corporate Liberalism and Electric Power System Planning in the 1920s

Leonard DeGraaf

Business History Review, 1990, vol. 64, issue 1, 1-31

Abstract: Examining the efforts to restructure the electric power industry during the early 1920s, this article challenges the view that proponents of corporate liberalism shared a belief in the legitimacy of corporate capitalism and that conflicts among them involved only technical and managerial issues. It argues, rather, that corporate liberals could disagree about the goals of economic planning as well as about tactics and strategy and that they often held conflicting perceptions of the nature of corporate capitalism in American society.
