Die gute Kapitalgesellschaft

„The Social Responsibility of Business is to increase its Profits". According to Milton Friedman, the purpose of a corporation is the welfare-maximizing aggregation of interests – not more. Broader social objectives, such as diversity, sustainability, and other, are out of place in corporate law. Recent developments in corprporate legislature and activity give the lie to this assumption. Companies are not only held accountable as socio-political actors through regulation, but also take an active role in transforming society and business. Yet, do corporate policy and corporate law really work hand in hand, and where are the inner and outer limits of this symbiosis? This anthology examines the phenomenon of the "good corporation" from a sociological, doctrinal and comparative perspective.
