Trade Review
"Kent Greenfield demonstrates with remarkable clarity how a series of essential changes in the premises and obligations of the corporation can turn the nature of the beast in very positive directions." - William Greider, author of The Soul of Capitalism: Opening Paths to a Moral Economy "Greenfield commences with a reconsideration of the basic and generally accepted purposes and norms of law. The result is as startling as it is enlightening.... A seminal piece of writing that evidences dominance of a vast range of ideas, research, and critical thinking, and puts it into a coherent, well argued, accessible whole." - Law and Politics Book Review"
