Two great achievements--up the poor and animating civil society--are powerful moral claims for business corporations but, according to the author, many new schemes for corporate governance jeopardize these achievements. Two related books are The Future of the Corporation and The Fire of Invention, the Fuel of Interest.
Michael Novak is the George Frederick Jewett Scholar in Religion, Philosophy, and Public Policy at AEI.
