Corporations and citizenship (1st ed.)

This title addresses the role of modern for-profit corporations as a distinctive kind of social formation within democratic national states.

Scholars of legal studies, business ethics, politics, history, and anthropology bring their perspectives to bear on particular case studies, such as Enron and Wall Street, as well as broader issues of belonging, social responsibility, for-profit higher education, and regulation.

Together, these essays establish a complex and detailed understanding of the ways corporations contribute positively to human well-being as well as the dangers that they pose.
