Omschrijving
'Corporate personhood has troubled us for millennia, and no book is likely to be the last word. But for readers interested in these issues, vital to the future of American democracy, this lucid, well-informed, fair-minded, and wide-ranging study will serve as an invaluable point of departure for all future debate.' Meir Dan-Cohen, University of California, Berkeley and author of Rights, Persons, and Organizations: A Legal Theory for Bureaucratic Society

Meir Dan-Cohen, University of California, Berkeley and author of Rights, Persons, and Organizations: A Legal Theory for Bureaucratic Society
'Since Citizens United, Americans have been outraged by the notion that, as Mitt Romney infamously said, 'Corporations are people, my friend'. Breaking through the political slogans, Susanna Kim Ripken uses insights from law, economics, philosophy, and anthropology to show how complex and multifaceted corporate personhood is. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand corporations and corporate power in society.' Adam Winkler, University of California, Los Angeles School of Law and author of We the Corporations: How American Businesses Won their Civil Rights
'Corporate Personhood constitutes an indispensable contribution to the debate over the proper role, duties, and rights of the corporation. Eschewing more comfortable, less nuanced paths, Professor Ripken's masterpiece forges ahead with a thoughtful, balanced, and insightful portrait of the corporation, informed by a review of the best relevant interdisciplinary scholarship available.' Ronald J. Colombo, Maurice A. Deane School of Law, Hofstra University, New York and author of The First Amendment and the Business Corporation
'This pathbreaking book insists – and persuades – that a multi-dimensional approach to the fractured corporate personhood debate best promotes correct understanding and fruitful progress. Distilling literature from many disciplines, Professor Ripken enriches our scholarly understanding and charts a pragmatic way forward on tough issues. A unique, impressive must-read book.' Lyman P. Q. Johnson, Robert O. Bentley Professor of Law, Washington and Lee University
'Well referenced with court cases, law reviews, and journal articles.' G. E. Kaupins, Choice
