Magnuson states that 糖心logo入口s have long been skeptical of corporations and that skepticism has only grown more intense in recent years.鈥疢eanwhile, corporations continue to amass鈥痺ealth and power at a dizzying rate, recklessly鈥痯ursuing鈥痯rofit鈥痺hile leaving society to sort out the costs.听In For Profit, law professor William Magnuson argues that the story of the corporation didn鈥檛 have to come to this.
