Publisher Synopsis
"A frame-changing discussion of the conditions that would legitimize managerial authority in privately owned, publicly held corporations. McMahon opens up new questions in political theory and corporate jurisprudence, and offers fascinating responses."-Philip Pettit, Princeton University "McMahon has been successful in providing a detailed, robust defense of his conclusion. The book deftly moves between business law, management, economics and, importantly, philosophy in its line of argumentation."-Jeffery Smith, University of Redlands Read more...
