There are extended discussions of policy issues contained in Observations on Unlimited and Limited Liability, by William Hawes; two early, specialized treatises on corporate financial law; descriptions of everyday corporate financial practices, from George Rae's The Internal Management of a Country Bank; and early theoretical treatments of corporate finance, including excerpts from Thorstein Veblen's Theory of Business Enterprise and Alfred Marshall's Industry and Trade.
