Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Originally published in 1932, this is a later printing from December, 1948. This book revolutionized how economists, policymakers, and legal theorists understood the American corporate economy, arguing that the rise of large, manager-controlled corporations had effectively separated ownership from control, diminishing the power of shareholders and challenging classical free-market assumptions. This insight laid the groundwork for modern corporate governance theory, securities regulation, and antitrust policy, making it one of the foundational texts in both corporate law and institutional economics. The book is hardcover, missing dust jacket. The book condition is Good. Overall, the text is clean, unmarked and attractive, but there is cosmetic wear to cover and some ex-library features (from Marlboro College in VT, which closed in 2020). List of ex-library features: code in ink on bottom of spine, shadow of sticker on top of front cover, nice bookplate on front pastedown, embossed library stamp on title page, date due slip and pouch on back flyleaf and pastedown. The text is notably tanned around edges. Hinges firm. Binding sound, but loosened with age, with widening in gutters on title page (with small rip on bottom of gutter) and pages 78-79 with mesh visible. Hardcover board corners turned in and exposed, with fabric fraying. Fabric on top and bottom of spine worn, ripped and chipping. Gilted text on boards heavily rubbed. A few small white splotches on fabric. Fabric rubbed and fraying in spots along spine joints. Seller Inventory # ABE-1751996311197

Berle Theorized That The Facts Of Economic Concentration Meant That The Effects Of Competitive-Price Theory Were Largely Mythical. Berle Argued For Government Regulation And Became Identified With The School Of Business Statesmanship, Which Advocated That Corporate Leadership Accept (And Theorized That They Had, To A Great Extent, Already Accepted) That They Must Fulfill Responsibilities Toward Society In Addition To Their Traditional Responsibilities Toward Shareholders, Which Finally Received Some Mainstream Acceptance In The 21St Century.
