Description
For Profit: A History of Corporations by William Magnuson The corporation has long been viewed with suspicion, its pursuit of profit and wealth power seen as morally dubious. Yet, for most of history, corporations were public institutions designed to promote the societies that granted them charter. In this book, Magnuson reveals how the corporation evolved from its ancient beginnings. Magnuson's narrative explores the roles corporations played in shaping the modern world, highlighting both their positive and negative impacts. As we consider the future of global economies, it is essential to examine whether corporations can return to their public-minded spirit or if they have become irreversibly focused on high profit at all costs. Epic in scope, For Profit offers a compelling analysis of the corporation's evolution and its ongoing influence on society.
