THE CORPORATION

The Corporation is a legal entity which plays an important part in the Economic History of the West.  See Niall Ferguson’s dynamic presentation at this link: The Ascent of Money. 

In watching these videos, it is important to remember that the Corporation per se is neither good nor bad – but an instrument for use, much like a car.  A car can be driven with care and on the road, or carelessly and even off the road onto a walk-way.

It is men who run corporations and we must remember that. But what will make them follow the Law? or  what will restrain the heads of corporations from creating the law for their own, special advantage?  How have they been used in the past and how are they being used in today’s world?  That is the subject of these videos.
