Beskrivning
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.

"The American Corporation Today is an extraordinary and valuable collection of essays. Probably no other institution in America is as important to our economic welfare as large, publicly traded corporations. Yet, in the three and a half decades since Edward S. Mason and others examined the nature and social role of corporations in The Corporation in Modern Society, no other group of authors as distinguished and experienced as the groupresponsible for this book has attempted such an ambitious study. The authors of this collection bring to the task the wisdom and experience of many decades of study of American corporations, as well as fresh insights fromeconomic, political, sociological, and legal analysis."--Margaret M. Blair, Senior Fellow, The Brookings Institution"This is a monumental undertaking and is the best book on the American corporation since the 1932 Berle and Means classic on the modern corporation. It will be essential reading for every student and executive concerned with corporate America."--Warren Bennis, University Professor and Distinguished Professor of Business Administration, USC, and author of Organizing Genius: The Secrets of Creative Collaboration."Academic and larger libraries should consider this important, scholarly work..."--Booklist
