Beskrivning
Recent decades have witnessed environmental, social, and economic upheaval, with major corporations contributing to a host of interconnected crises. The Corporation as Technology examines the dynamics of the corporate form and corporate law that incentivize harmful excesses and presents an alternative vision to render corporate activities more sustainable. The corporate form is commonly described as a set of fixed characteristics that strongly prioritize shareholders' interests. This book subverts this widely held belief, suggesting that such rigid depictions reinforce harmful corporate pathologies, including excessive risk-taking and lack of regard for environmental and social impacts. Instead, corporations are presented as a dynamic legal technology that policymakers can re-calibrate over time in response to changing landscapes. This book explores the theoretical and practical ramifications of this alternative vision, focusing on how the corporate form can help secure an environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable future.

Recensioner i media

Read this book before you despair of the possibility that modern corporations can be usefully enlisted in the effort to address urgent global social and environmental problems! Professor Bruner has reimagined corporations as a set of governance levers that modulate accountability, power, purpose, and risk-taking by business people who organize themselves into publicly-traded corporations. He takes us on a sweeping tour of the use of the corporate form, over time, countries, and industries to make the case that the levers can be adjusted and recalibrated to make this old and venerated institution better address contemporary problems.
