This collection traces the development of corporate governance from the separation of management and ownership in the 1930s, to the emphasis on outside directors and independent auditors in the 1970s, to the corporate collapses of the 1980s and the onset of globalization in the 1990s. The essays highlight the debate between the protagonists of agency theory and those who believe that this theory is based on misconceptions about human nature. They also consider the modern notion of corporate responsibility, contrasting it with classical views on ownership as the basis of power. Name index only. Annotation c.
