The History of the Corporation
Volume One
by Bruce Brown
GOD, DEMON, servant, master, parasite or provider -- what exactly is the corporation?
In The History of the Corporation, Volume 1, Bruce Brown traces the development of the corporate idea from the oldest surviving corporation -- the Benedictine Order of the Catholic Church, founded circa 529 AD -- through the Dark Ages, when corporations first ruled human beings.
If you want to understand the modern world, you need to understand the modern corporation. And if you want to understand the modern corporation, you need to read this book. There are a zillion books that deal with a zillion brief moments in corporate history, but The History of the Corporation by Bruce Brown is the first book ever to go back to the beginning and look at the big picture.
