There is almost nothing we do in our everyday lives that does not involve corporations or companies. From small family companies to global corporations which are larger than the economies of some countries, corporations dominate our lives. In this episode we look at what a corporation is. We focus on a subset of corporations; companies with a share capital which operate a business for profit.
In future episodes we will look at some of the issues surrounding "limited liability" and at businesses behaving badly. This episode sets the scene for those, offering a legal primer on what corporations are.
