The American Corporation Today

Edited by Carl Kaysen

in OUP Catalogue from Oxford University Press

Abstract: Not since Edward Mason's groundbreaking book, The Corporation in Modern Society has there been a broad survey of the contemporary large business corporation. This book fills that need. Carl Kaysen has assembled a group of experts who examine the many aspects of the corporation including its historical evolution, its relation to the law, its financing, its contribution to technology, its role as employer, race and gender issues within it, its role as political actor, and even how it has become an architectural patron. The many voices within the book also debate the question of deregulation and possible dangers that could result from an abuse of corporate power. The book will be the new standard on the American corporation on which future studies will build.
