Well into the nineteenth century, the idea of the corporation as a civil body politic played a significant role in the constitutional genesis of civic authority. In our time too, republican ideas can challenge the dictatorship of the economic in corporate governance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author's republican model of corporate governance looks beyond managerial accountability to shareholders. He highlights the responsibility of shareholders for risks imposed upon society at large by the corporations they own. Political responsibility for the adverse consequences of corporate activity must be vested in a new political class of shareholders. A self-selecting aristocracy of substantial shareholders can constitute senatorial elites with the authority to balance the otherwise irresponsible power of corporate managers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn exploring the contemporary relevance of republicanism to corporate governance, the author discusses the nature of aristocracy and democracy in the era of reflexive modernization; corporations and the economic logic of efficiency; as well as the relationship between risk, responsibility, and the political realities of corporate power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Fraser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1915755069\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781915755063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arktos Media Ltd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.55d","brand":"Andrew Fraser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44122226458879,"sku":"9781915755063","price":18.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_92fc7cfb-cd65-4502-b38f-7bf45d161c82.jpg?v=1687423908","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reinventing-aristocracy-in-the-age-andrew-fraser-9781915755063","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
