My research interests concern the business corporation, and its role within democratic society. I have been developing a “normative theory of the firm” which explores how the way we normatively think about the firm affects how we relate to each other as human beings, and in particular, how it affects the possibility of our living together in a society that respects the democratic governance of society.
