THE SHIFT IN THE INSTITUTIONAL LOGICS OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE IN THE POST-BRETTON WOODS WORLD"" 330 8 $aThe shift in the institutional logics of corporate governance towards shareholder value coupled with shareholdership's increasing short-termism have cumulatively contributed to the low GDP growth rates that are observed in five major Western economies (France, Germany, The Netherlands, UK, US) since the breakdown of the Bretton Woods system in the 1970s. This book presents - through empirical data and with the help of the post-Keynesian theory of the firm - a historical causality chain: The two Great Reversals led to higher equity payout ratios and lower retention ratios in public corporations that in turn caused lower growth rates of (business) capital accumulation that in turn caused lower GDP growth rates. Corporate law has been an accomplice for the reorientation of corporate governance towards shareholder value, i.e. for the Great Reversal in Corporate Governance, and thus it indirectly shares the blame for the low rates of capital accumulation that have thrown the five major Western economies in a stagnation mode over the past four decades. 606 $aCorporation law$xEconomic aspects 606 $aStockholders 615 0$aCorporation law$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aStockholders. 700 $aMasouros$b Pavlos E$01555777 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792052503321 996 $aCorporate law and economic stagnation$93817939 997 $aUNINA
