The nature and purpose of the corporation: A roundtable discussion

Towards the end of 2013, the University of Leicester’s Centre for Philosophy and Political Economy (CPPE) marked its 10 Year Anniversary by organising a 3-day event on the theme of exhaustion. During this event, a roundtable discussion was devoted to the modern corporation. The participants were Samuel Mansell, author of Capitalism, corporations and the social contract, Martin Parker, co-author of The dictionary of alternatives, and Jeroen Veldman, co-founder of The modern corporation project. The discussion was chaired by ephemera’s Stephen Dunne.
