Publisher's Synopsis

Explores the development of corporate law from the 1780s, a time when the special charter was the only form of incorporation, to the 1960s, a time when corporations were established exclusively through general incorporation statutes. More than a chronicle, this emphasises how legal institutions actively shaped the central traits of American capitalism.
