Overview
Ā
Americans have long been skeptical of corporations, andĀ that skepticism has only grown more intense in recent years.āÆMeanwhile, corporationsĀ continue to amassāÆwealth and powerĀ at aĀ dizzying rate, recklesslyāÆpursuingāÆprofitāÆwhile leaving society to sort out the costs.Ā
āÆĀ
InĀ For Profit,Ā law professor William MagnusonĀ arguesĀ that the story of the corporation didnāt have to come to this.Ā ThroughoutĀ history,Ā heĀ finds,Ā corporations haveĀ beenĀ purpose-builtĀ toĀ benefitĀ the societies thatĀ surrounded them.Ā CorporationsĀ enabled everything fromĀ theĀ construction ofĀ ancientĀ Romeās roads and aqueducts to theĀ artistic flourishing of the Renaissance toĀ the rise of the middle class in theĀ twentiethĀ century.Ā ByĀ recapturingĀ thisĀ original spirit ofĀ civic virtue, Magnuson argues,Ā corporations can helpĀ craftĀ aĀ societyĀ in whichĀ all of usānot just shareholdersābenefit from theĀ profits of enterprise.Ā
