Progressive Corporate Governance for the 21st Century is a wide
ranging and ambitious study of why corporate governance is the
shape that it is, and how it can be better. The book sets out the
emergence of shareholder primacy orientated corporate governance
using a study of historical developments in the United Kingdom and
the United States. Talbot sees shareholder primacy as a political
choice made by governments, not a 'natural' feature of the
inevitable market. She describes the periods of progressive
corporate governance which governments promoted in the middle of
the 20th century using a close examination of the theories of the
company which then prevailed. She critically examines the rise of
neoliberal theories on the company and corporate governance and
argues that they have had a negative and regressive impact on
social and economic development. In examining contemporary
corporate governance she shows how regulatory styles as informed
and described by prevailing regulatory theories, enables neoliberal
outcomes. She illustrates how United Kingdom-derived corporate
governance codes have informed the corporate governance initiatives
of European and global institutions. From this she argues that
neoliberalism has re-entered ex command transition economies
through those United Kingdom and OECD inspired corporate governance
Codes over a decade after the earlier failed and destructive
neoliberal prescriptions for transition had been rejected.
Throughout, Talbot argues that shareholder primacy has socially
regressive outcomes and firmly takes a stand against current
initiatives to enhance shareholder voting in such issues as
director remuneration. The book concludes with a series of
proposals to recalibrate the power between those involved in
company activity; shareholders, directors and employees so that the
public company can begin to work for the public and not
shareholders.
