The corporate business enterprise is a core institution of capitalism.
It holds immense political, economic, and cultural power in society.
It mobilizes social and planetary resources to its utility in pursuit
of private profit maximization and with little regard for social
concerns. Its influence over so much of societal life and effects on
the natural environment raise critical questions about the firm and
its governance in democratic society. Various voices seek reforms of
regulation and corporate governance practices to those shaped by the
neoliberal policies persisting in the current decades. But prospects
for amelioration within our current horizons of thinking appear
elusive. This book contributes a distinctly social theoretical
approach to the social problem of governing the firm. Its discussions
complement debates in economics, politics, and law. Its critical
social theorizations challenge conventional understandings of the firm
and neoliberal legitimacies of its governance and posit alternatives.
The book explores the social relations and moral fabric of the firm
and the creativity of human action at work. It proposes a reimagined
corporate governance premised on just recognition of that social
vitality. It invites unprecedented collaboration for a robust
participatory democracy for governing the firm and market action
oriented to ecological and social sustainability.
