Businesses operate with short-term goals to deliver profits to shareholders, enjoying stability (and bonuses) in the process. While the public bemoans the doctrine for its insularity and wealth-consolidating effects, its influence over corporate governance persists. \u003ci\u003eGood Company\u003c\/i\u003e offers an exacting argument for why shareholder primacy was never the right model to follow for truly understanding how corporations operate. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Lenore Palladino shows that corporations draw power from public charters--agreements that allow corporations to enjoy all manner of operational benefits. In return, companies are meant to innovate for the betterment of the societies that support them. However, that debt--increasingly wielded for stock buybacks and shareholder bonuses--is not being repaid. Palladino theorizes a modern corporation that plays its intended role while delivering social and economic good in the process and offers tangible policy solutions to make this a reality. \u003ci\u003eGood Company \u003c\/i\u003eis both an expert introduction to the political economy of the firm--as it was, as it is, as it can be--and a calibrating examination of how public policy can shape companies, and societies, for the better. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lenore Palladino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226836487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226836485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Lenore Palladino","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46489405096191,"sku":"9780226836485","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d7411ea6-6058-4d68-83f9-6e42ddc4b3b4.jpg?v=1736953459","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/good-company-lenore-palladino-9780226836485","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
