An eloquent (Economist) history of how corporate innovation has shaped society, from ancient Rome to Silicon ValleyAmericans have long been skeptical of corporations, and that skepticism has only grown more intense in recent years.Meanwhile, corporations continue to amasswealth and power at a dizzying rate, recklesslypursuingprofitwhile leaving society to sort out the costs.In For Profit, law professor William Magnuson argues that the story of the corporation didnt have to come to this. Throughout history, he finds, corporations have been purposebuilt to benefit the societies that surrounded them. Corporations enabled everything from the construction of ancient Romes roads and aqueducts to the artistic flourishing of the Renaissance to the rise of the middle class in the twentieth century. By recapturing this original spirit of civic virtue, Magnuson argues, corporations can help craft a society in which all of usnot just shareholdersbenefit from the profits of enterprise.
