Evolution of the Corporation in the United States

Glen Atkinson, Eric R. Hake and Stephen P. Paschall

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This insightful book traces the evolution of corporate power in the United States, from social control over corporate power under early state laws to the modern liberation of the corporation serving primarily private purposes. It illustrates how the transition of attitudes towards corporations and dynamic changes in public policy have ushered in an age of financial fragility, income inequality and macroeconomic instability.
