The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power

Joel Bakan


The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power Joel Bakan Over the last 150 years the corporation has risen from relative obscurity to become the world's dominant economic institution. Eminent Canadian law professor and legal theorist Joel Bakan contends that today's corporation is a pathological institution a dangerous possessor of the great power it wields over people and societies. In this revolutionary assessment of the history, character, and globalization of the modern business corporation, Bakan backs his premise with the following observations: The corporation's legally defined mandate is to pursue relentlessly and without exception its own economic self-interest, regardless of the harmful consequences it might cause to others. The corporation's unbridled sef-interest victimizes individuals, society, and, when it goes awry, even shareholders and can cause corporations to self-destruct, as recent Wall Street scandals reveal. Governments have freed the corporation, despite its... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Over the last 150 years the corporation has risen from relative obscurity to become the world's dominant economic institution.

Modernization, Cultural Change, and Democracy: The Human Development Sequence

Ronald Inglehart, Christian Welzel


Modernization, Cultural Change, and Democracy: The Human Development Sequence Ronald Inglehart, Christian Welzel This book demonstrates that people's basic values and beliefs are changing, in ways that affect their political, sexual, economic, and religious behavior. These changes are roughly predictable because they can be interpreted on the basis of a revised version of modernization theory presented here. Drawing on a massive body of evidence from societies containing 85% of the world's population, the authors demonstrate that modernization is a process of human development, in which economic development triggers cultural changes that make individual autonomy, gender equality, and democracy increasingly likely. книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин This book demonstrates that people's basic values and beliefs are changing, in ways that affect their political, sexual, economic, and religious behavior.
