Description
The modern corporation is the institution of modern society, and modern society is increasingly coming to resemble the social structure of the corporation. So argues John McDermott in "Corporate Society". Combining business history with political insight, he offers a critique of the post-industrial order and the illusions it fosters. He warns against the development of a "post-society industry" in which the corporate order replaces democratic institutions as the primary organizer of social and cultural life.
