{"product_id":"the-corporate-contract-in-changing-steven-davidoff-solomon-9780226599403","title":"The Corporate Contract in Changing Times: Is the Law Keeping Up?","description":"Over the past few decades, significant changes have occurred across capital markets. Shareholder activists have become more prominent, institutional investors have begun to wield more power, and intermediaries like investment advisory firms have greatly increased their influence. These changes to the economic environment in which corporations operate have outpaced changes in basic corporate law and left corporations uncertain of how to respond to the new dynamics and adhere to their fiduciary duties to stockholders. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With \u003ci\u003eThe Corporate Contract in Changing Times\u003c\/i\u003e, Steven Davidoff Solomon and Randall Stuart Thomas bring together leading corporate law scholars, judges, and lawyers from top corporate law firms to explore what needs to change and what has prevented reform thus far. Among the topics addressed are how the law could be adapted to the reality that activist hedge funds pose a more serious threat to corporations than the hostile takeovers and how statutory laws, such as the rules governing appraisal rights, could be reviewed in the wake of appraisal arbitrage. Together, the contributors surface promising paths forward for future corporate law and public policy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Davidoff Solomon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022659940X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226599403\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 03\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.30d","brand":"Steven Davidoff Solomon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086419276031,"sku":"9780226599403","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8619dff0-4a81-4b03-8ee7-c7fbe7b3b5b0.jpg?v=1769094565","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-corporate-contract-in-changing-steven-davidoff-solomon-9780226599403","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
