Abstract

This chapter presents a brief pre-history of the corporate form, identifying its key antecedents and early forms. This history is then linked to the argument that there are varieties of capitalism, and the recognition that one way capitalism varies is though the different forms of regulation of the corporation. This is followed by an initial discussion of the relations between managers and workers, and a consideration of the insights to the history of the corporation (or specific corporations) that might be contributed by transaction cost economics.
