For profit : a history of corporations / Magnuson, William J.

"Americans have long been skeptical of large corporations, and polls show that skepticism growing ever more intense year over year. Meanwhile, corporations--and the titans who lead them--continue to amass wealth and power, recklessly pursuing profit for a tiny percentage of shareholders and spending significant sums lobbying political figures to stave off regulation. Corporate law professor William Magnuson argues that the story of the corporation didn't have to come to this. Indeed, for most of history, corporations have not primarily been amoral entities created solely for the relentless pursuit of profit, but rather public institutions designated to promote the societies or governments that granted them charter. In For Profit, Magnuson shows us how the corporation--a structure that, in its most basic sense, involves a group of people coming together to fund an endeavor that could not be achieved alone--has evolved since its beginnings in the ancient world. From the creation of the first corporation in Ancient Rome to the East India company's invention of the joint stock company to the rise of venture capital in the internet age, Magnuson argues, corporations have helped us thrive, creating the conditions for the artistic flourishing of the Renaissance and the rise of the middle class in the 20th century. As corporations have evolved over time, however, so too have the ways in which unscrupulous managers have figured out how to "game the system," extracting wealth without providing value in return. What happens in this next chapter of the global economy, Magnuson concludes, depends on whether we can return to the original public-minded spirit of the corporation, or whether we have sunk irrevocably into the swamp of high profit at all costs. Epic in scope and filled with compelling stories, For Profit illuminates the essential roles corporations have played, both for good and evil, in the making of the modern world"--Provided by publisher.

Money, magic, and how to dismantle a financial bomb : quantum economics for the real world / Orrell, David

"Money has many apparently magical properties. It can be created out of the void - and vanish without so much as a puff of smoke. It can flash through space. It can grow without limit. And it can blow up without warning. David Orrell argues that the emerging discipline of quantum economics, of which he is at the forefront, is the key to shattering the illusions that prevent us from understanding money's true nature. In this colourful tour of the history, philosophy and mathematics of money, Orrell demonstrates how everything makes much more sense when we replace our classical economic models with ones based on quantum probability - and reveals the explosive reality of what is left once the illusions are stripped away"--Amazon.com.
