The Incorporation Process and Its Relation to the Federal and Stats Governments and to Present Corporate Problems

Résumé du livre

This paper is reigned in to a halt because of the inevitable passage of time, not because it is a completed study. No one will realize this so keenly as the author. As is so often the case, the study was commenced without any concise vision of where the trail would lead. I had at the outset the general intention of covering the federal incorporation and licensing question from three main points of view: as a means of solving the problems of corporate structure, powers, organization, and general intracorporate relations; as a means of attacking the trust problem; and as a possible development of governmental regulation of the operation of industry. As the work progressed, it became increasingly clear that I could not possibly cover more than one of these divisions within the allotted time, and that I could not hope to do even that with any degree of completeness. The fact that this paper technically constitutes only two out of fourteen hours of academic work, and the fact that frequent interruptions are inevitable, together contrive very cleverly to defeat any research of real consequence.
