Empire, Incorporated

Historians typically regard the British Empire as a state project aided by corporations. Philip Stern turns this view on its head, arguing that corporations drove colonial expansion and governance, creating an overlap between sovereign and commercial power that continues to shape the relationship between nations and corporations to this day.

Istoricii considera de obicei Imperiul Britanic ca pe un proiect de stat ajutat de corporatii. Philip Stern intoarce acest punct de vedere, argumentand ca corporatiile au condus expansiunea si guvernarea coloniala, creand o suprapunere intre puterea suverana si cea comerciala care continua sa modeleze relatia dintre natiuni si corporatii pana in prezent.
