Rezensionen

"This is nothing less than a monumental piece of social-scientific scholarship that simply must be read by anyone with a serious interest in corporate governance. Professor Catherine Casey is an outstanding scholar who is equally accomplished in dealing with insights from sociology, political philosophy, organisational theory, economics, management and the law. Here she brings this diverse body of perspectives together to build a compelling and urgent case for reform of long-established ways of thinking about the firm. Above all, this work demonstrates the inherent sociality and rich moral fabric of business organisations, in which work relations form a pivotal and definitive element." Marc Moore, Chair in Corporate/Financial Law, UCL Faculty of Laws, University College London

"Casey's critique of the governance of the firm takes us far beyond current law or corporate social responsibility nostrums. This book offers a rich critique of "desocialization" in the neoliberal enterprise... Invoking a philosophical tradition running from Hegel to the Pragmatists, she offers a compelling and sophisticated theoretical argument for resocialization via the recognition of workers as the moral owners of the firm's essential productive capacities. Casey's call widens and deepens our democratic imaginary." Paul S. Adler, Harold Quinton Chair of Business Policy, University of Southern California
