Aprašymas

From the back cover:

John P. Davis' history of corporate activity is acknowledged to be the standard work in the field by most authorities. Starting with the corporations, companies and gilds of the Middle Ages, it details the growth of corporation and the proliferation of varieties of corporate activity to the end of the nineteenth century.

Professor Abram Chayes of Harvard Law School, an authority on corporate structure and an advisor to President Kennedy, has brought this classic history up to date with a long chapter on twentieth-century corporate activity and the historical roots of twentieth-century corporations in the corporations described by Davis.

Since the commercial structures of civilization generally bear the characteristic note of that civilization to a greater degree than almost any other human activity, we actually have the history of western civilization as seen from an especially advantageous angle.
