Why Do Corporations Exist?
Corporations are the engine of the modern economy, yet public debates are ideologically polarized between two extremes-shareholder value theory and stakeholder theory-and the real workings of corporations and their contributions to society are obscured. This book attempts to break the shackles of these two ideologies. It starts from the 'Two Corporate Axioms' that any reasonably well-informed person should accept, i.e., the dominance of corporations and the existence of market competition. It then derives the 'Eight Corporate Theorems' as logical extensions of the axioms and, based on these theorems, re-examines major issues surrounding corporations, including their purpose and governance. To make this construct more realistic, the book weaves the theorems into the story of an imaginary AI company, starting as a venture company and expanding eventually into a multi-planetary enterprise. This book concludes by offering a vision of the corporation as a long-term community for co-prosperity.

The Global Financial Crisis and the Korean Economy
‘The global financial crisis points up the need for new thinking on financial market volatility and its real economic consequences. In this book, with its focus on emerging markets and specifically on Korea, Jang-Sup Shin provides just this. Not for those wedded to conventional wisdoms!’— Barry Eichengreee, Pardee and Helen N. Pardee, Professor of Economics and Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley ‘In this courageous book, Jang-Sup Shin develops an innovative and iconoclastic theoretical approach to understand the role of finance in economic development and uses it to analyse the evolution of the Korean economy in the last two decades. The resulting policy recommendations are unconventional but highly pragmatic, being based on wide-ranging historical and comparative evidence. It is a powerful book with profound implications not just for a better management of the Korean economy but for the future of economic development in general.’ —Ha-Joon Chang, University of Cambridge 'In this enormously insightful and clearly written book, Jang-Sup Shin convincingly argues that the cause of the South Korean foreign-exchange crises of 1997 and 2008 was adherence of Korean policy-makers to the misguided economic theory that a national economy must subordinate its industrial development strategies to the dictates of international financial markets. This theory is misguided because in a deregulated world speculators and manipulators dominate the operation of financial markets, with their gains coming at the expense of national economic development. Professor Shin contends, correctly in my view, that policy makers must see through conventional free-market ideology for the sake of implementing economic policies that promote stable and equitable growth. This important book provides sound intellectual support for this much-needed policy transition.’ —William Lazonick, Professor and Director, UMass Center for Industrial Competitiveness, and President, The Academic-Industry Research Network ‘The major contribution of Jang-Sup Shin's book is that it provides a clear and consistent analytically coherent explanation of the Korean economy's performance from the Asian crisis of 1997-98 to the Global Financial crisis of 2007-08. More importantly, it builds on this analysis to provide a prognosis and policy recommendation for Korea in the Post-crisis global environment that is relevant to a wide range of middle-income developing countries. Rather than seeking the indicators of past successes it provides an important alternative for future success in a world of global financial turbulence.’ —Jan Kregel, Senior Scholar at the Levy Economics Institute of Finance at Bard College and Professor of Finance and Development at Tallinn University of Technology, Tallinn, Estonia ‘Once again, Shin deploys his superb skills as a heterodox economist skeptical of the now much discredited conventional economic wisdom with his considerable earlier experience as a highly acclaimed Korean business journalist to provide yet another insightful book on the global financial crisis and the South Korean economy. This erudite book reflects his familiarity with the range of economic perspectives on the origins and consequences of the 2008-2009 financial crisis as well as the perceived role of and impacts on the Korean economy. ‘—Jomo Kwame Sundaram, Former UN Assistant Secretary General for Economic Development (2005-2012) and Research Coordinator for the G24 Intergovernmental Group on International Monetary Affairs and Development (2006-2012).
