Academic - Financial And Business History - Economics - Law -
History; The company archives of England and America are rich
repositories of original texts on the subject of governance, a
selection of which are published here. Two major issues ripped from
the headlines - Japan's prolonged economic slump and the recent
Enron debacle in the United States - both point to the importance
of corporate governance, the mechanisms that stakeholders use to
ensure that their investments are properly used and that any sums
owed them for the use of their resources are faithfully calculated
and promptly paid in full. Corporate governance seeks, in short,
the reduction of the principalagent problem within major business
firms. The history of corporate governance, like the history of any
subject, can help today's businesses in two ways. First, knowledge
of the past can help prevent firms and policymakers from repeating
past mistakes. Second, history is also rife with examples of how to
do things right. Corporate governance in Britain and the United
States in the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was
far from perfect, yet it was also far from being completely
flawed.Anglo-American corporate governance, therefore, offers both
warnings and lessons. This new edition from Pickering & Chatto
offers a unique perspective on this fascinating historical topic.
We present a comprehensive selection of texts drawn from the
archives of corporations in England and America. Many of these
texts are very rare and very few have ever been re-published
before. Corporate governance is an interdisciplinary subject of
interest to scholars of history, economics, business history and
law. In short this edition fits into the library collection of any
institution concerned with history or finance.
