History of Economics Review, 2022, vol. 82, issue 1, 29-44

Abstract: Plant versus Coase on the firm. This paper focuses on Arnold Plant (Coase’s teacher) and his little known contribution to the theory of the firm, ‘Centralize or Decentralize?’ A very brief biography of Plant is given followed by an outline of his paper and then the paper is examined and compared to Coases’s ‘The Nature of the Firm’.
