Corporations dominate our worlds. They employ us, sell to us and
influence how we think and who we vote for. Written in clear and
accessible terms, this much-needed textbook provides critical
perspectives on all aspects of the relationship between business
and society: from an historical analysis of the spread of
capitalism as the foundation of the 'corporate' revolution in the
late nineteenth century to the regulation, ethics and exclusionary
implications of business in contemporary society. It also suggests
how corporate power and capitalism might be resisted, outlining a
range of alternatives, from the social economy through to new forms
of open access or commons ownership. This second edition includes
new chapters that explore how global crises such as the Covid-19
pandemic and the climate emergency have exposed tensions within and
among national business systems. It also addresses the need for new
ways of holding business accountable in the era of digital
platforms like Facebook, Google and Amazon, which use algorithmic
personalization to exert private control over the infrastructure of
our societies.
