This book, which evolved from three lectures at AEI sponsored by the Pfizer Corporation, examines the nature of the business corporation and its influence in civil society. The author argues that the corporation--though much criticized--is little understood and is actually "the most successful institution of our time, flexible and adaptable beyond all others." The following summary is drawn from the introduction to the book.

Michael Novak is the George Frederick Jewett Scholar in Religion, Philosophy, and Public Policy at AEI.
