Corporations and Persons: A Theory of the Firm in Democratic Society

This book develops a “person-based” theory of the corporation as a social and political actor within democratic society. It examines corporate personhood, legal rights, and the firm’s obligations to democratic norms, arguing that firms have specific duties beyond their business interests, or even their interests in competitive markets.  

Why this resource matters 
It deepens CPR’s conceptual foundation by examining the legitimate bases (and duties) that guide corporate political influence from a principled perspective.
