The Ownership of Enterprise
Publisher:
Harvard University Press
Author:
Henry Hassmann
|
|
The investor-owned corporation is the
conventional form for structuring large-scale enterprise in market
economies. But it is not the only one. Even in the United States,
noncapitalist firms play a vital role in many sectors. Employee-owned
firms have long been prominent in the service professions--law,
accounting, investment banking, medicine--and are becoming increasingly
important in other industries.
Henry Hansmann explains why different industries and different
national economies exhibit different distributions of ownership
forms.
