I am confused by the general lack of interest I’ve encountered in how joint stock corporations came to be and underwent selection to get us to where we are now. It may be I’m not looking in the right places. I know the founders of Mckinsey are quite interested in this.
Not really. Although proto joint stock corps existed at the time, The Glorious Revolution and the importation of Dutch commercial trading practices was a significant event.
