Abstract

Is corporate governance more appropriately situated in the realm of political philosophy rather than law and economics, with greater emphasis needed on Bentham and Marx as opposed to Berle and Means? In 'Reframing Corporate Governance', Javier Reyes answers both questions with a resounding yes. Reyes’ book is unique in its breadth and scope, and makes a valuable contribution by situating corporate governance within its political, philosophical and historical contexts.

Keywords: corporate governance, contractarian theory of the corporation, law and economics, political philosophy
