The 2008/9 crisis in global commercial debt markets exposed glaring
deficiencies in corporate and regulatory operational and strategic
risk management systems. This collection provides an overview of
how narrow conceptions of responsibility in corporate law,
organizational practice and regulatory dynamics facilitated the
crisis. The first section revisits the debates about the role of
the corporation prompted by the publication of The Modern
Corporation and Private Property (1932). The second section
explores why the conception of enlightened shareholder interest
gained and retained potency despite demonstrable failure. The third
section explores how the interaction between the foundational
assumptions of corporate law and the (questionable) efficacy of
shareholder control framed regulatory responses to the growth of
financial capitalism. The fourth section examines ways in which
excess can be restrained by the interaction between hard law,
softer governance arrangements such as principles and, crucially,
norms.
