Description
Excerpt from Corporations, Vol. 1 of 2: A Study of the Origin and Development of Great Business Combinations and of Their Relation to the Authority of the State
S the following pages are about to be given to the A public I am reminded of the story told of a pro fessor in one of the German universities. He had announced for the semester a course of lectures on the political institutions of the Middle Ages; when the end of the semester was reached he had only just finished his introductory remarks. A few years ago I projected a study of the modern corporation question, and in tended to clear the ground for the subject by a short introductory chapter on the history of corporations. I am now congratulating myself that the introduction has consumed no more than three years and has demanded no more than thirteen chapters. The present volumes are intended to serve as an introduction to a volume on the subject of modern corporations, especially those in the United States, to be written during the next five or ten years. Chapter XIV. Is not intended to be exhaustive, but to show brie?y the connection between the old and modern corporations.
