Overview
At the root of many of today's social ailments is the modern publicly traded corporation, argues Rowland (social history of communications technologies, Trent U., Canada), and at the root of corporate behavior is the Rationalist moral view of human nature. He traces how the moral philosophical idea that humans are essentially motivated primarily by self-interest has been institutionalized in the form of the corporations and traces the economic, legal, and philosophic arguments that have guided its development to the present day.
