The idea that the wealthy earn more per dollar invested really highlights how structural advantages compound over time.

Comment on Bringing the Fiduciary Back In by ‘Bringing the Fiduciary Back In’ | Private Law Theory - Obligations, property, legal theory

[…] David Kershaw, ‘Delaware’s Fiduciary Imagination: Going Privates and Lord Eldon’s Reprise’, 98 Washington Law Review 1669 (2021). Wisdom sometimes is best recognized by a traveler. In ‘Delaware’s Fiduciary Imagination: Going Privates and Lord Eldon’s Reprise’, Professor David Kershaw of the London School of Economics revisits cases that we know very well, putting them in the context of British decisions, and elicits a distinction that appears obvious, yet comes as a bit of a surprise: There is a distinction between abuse of power and abuse of influence. These are two ideal types of the ‘source of obligation’ for fiduciaries … (more) […]

Comment on The Value of a Shareholding by ‘The Value of a Shareholding’ | Private Law Theory - Obligations, property, legal theory

[…] Charles Korsmo and Minor Myers, ‘What Do Stockholders Own? The Rise of the Trading Price Paradigm in Corporate Law’, 47 Journal of Corporate Law (forthcoming, 2021), available at SSRN. The valuation of a shareholder’s interest in a corporation is a central issue in corporate law. In recent cases the Delaware courts have responded to appraisal arbitrage by limiting recovery in appraisal actions to deal price, deal price less synergy, or even market price unaffected by the deal. The cases have given rise to a literature of both praise and critique. Charles Korsmo and Minor Myers take the analysis a step further in ‘What Do Stockholders Own? The Rise of the Trading Price Paradigm in Corporate Law’, arguing that the implications of these appraisal decisions reach beyond appraisal to cases involving mergers more generally, and suggest an incipient paradigm shift in how Delaware law conceives of the (value of the) stockholder’s interest in the corporation: ‘[i]n a real sense, the Supreme Court in the appraisal cases has simply altered its conception of the public corporation as a form of property’ (p 3) … (more) […]

Comment on The Path Toward Corporate Accountability on Human Rights by ‘The Path Toward Corporate Accountability on Human Rights’ | Private Law Theory - Obligations, property, legal theory

[…] Erika George, ‘Incorporating Rights: Strategies to Advance Corporate Accountability’ (2021). Corporate law readers: Do not let this excellent new work by Erika George escape your attention. It is a book focused on human rights. But make no mistake it is about corporations and it richly deserves a spot on your reading list. The motivating problem in this area is relatively well understood: global human rights slip through the cracks of different regulatory regimes. As Professor George explains: ‘[C]orporate law fails to adequately address the external effects of the modern corporation and its relationship to society’. Further, ‘public international law fails to adequately govern the conduct of private nonstate actors’. Multinational corporations influence the ability of many millions of people to enjoy human rights, but these corporations are not currently understood to have the requisite international legal personality to become a party to an existing, binding international human rights treaty … (more) […]

Important issue.

Just in case, that it has not been mentioned in the book reviewed here, there is another way or intention recently:

To incorporate, directly into the Rome statute, crimes, or recently, crimes against the environment (Ecocide). Then, probably, would include corporations, or rather, executive liability( for only natural persons, can face justice in the ICC).

Here (very recommended blog by itself) titled:

“The Ecocide-International Environmental Crime Nexus: When Can an International Environmental Crime be Called “Ecocide”?”

Comment on Law and (Which?) Entrepreneurship by ‘Law and (Which?) Entrepreneurship’ | Private Law Theory - Obligations, property, legal theory

Wed, 16 Jun 2021 16:15:18 +0000

[…] Magnus Henrekson and Tino Sanandaji, ‘Measuring Entrepreneurship: Do Established Metrics Capture Schumpeterian Entrepreneurship?’, 44 Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice 733 (2020). We often hear that entrepreneurship is important to the economy. But what exactly is ‘entrepreneurship’? There is a broad and growing literature connecting institutions with entrepreneurship in the fields of law, economics, finance, and business generally. Legal scholars in this field typically focus on the role of ‘law’ and treat ‘entrepreneurship’ as a taken-for-granted concept that does not need any discussion. Yet, it is important to recognize that researchers in the broader non-legal literature on the relationship between institutions and entrepreneurship have been struggling to define and measure ‘entrepreneurship’. Empirical research that measures entrepreneurship inaccurately may lead to flawed conclusions including legal policy recommendations … (more) […]
