Closing a major gap in historical-materialist scholarship, they demonstrate how the corporation, capitalism?s main engine from city-state and colonial times to the present multinational, is a masterpiece of legal technology. The symbiosis between law and capital becomes acutely apparent in the question of ?corporate accountability?. Baars provides a detailed analysis of corporate human rights and war crimes trials, from the Nuremberg industrialists? trials to current efforts. The book shows that precisely because of law?s relationship to capital , law cannot prevent or remedy the ?externalities? produced by corporate capitalism. This realisation will generate the space required to formulate a different answer to ?the question of the corporation?, and to global corporate capitalism more broadly, outside of the law. 410 0$aHistorical Materialism Book Series$v188. 606 $aCriminal liability of juristic persons (International law) 606 $aInternational criminal law$xEconmic aspects 606 $aLaw and socialism 606 $aMarxian economics 615 0$aCriminal liability of juristic persons (International law) 615 0$aInternational criminal law$xEconmic aspects. 615 0$aLaw and socialism. 615 0$aMarxian economics. 676 $a345/.0401 700 $aBaars$b Grietje$f1972-$01482241 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793573103321 996 $aThe corporation, law and capitalism$93699728 997 $aUNINA
