VIDEO: Role of Corporations in the United States

by marc
Corporations can be seen as associations of citizens, creations of the state that can be dissolved or persons. The US economy has shifted from a Fordist to a financialized economy. Real and nominal taxes are very different. Today corporations pay between 12-14% in taxes (Sen. Carl Levin).
Panelists talked about the national and transnational history of corporations, the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Citizens United, corporate personhood debates in America, and the relevance of that history to America’s future.

“Corporations in American Life” was a plenary session of the 2013 annual meeting of the Organization of American Historians, held at the Union Square Hilton in San Francisco
