Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Essays in the Earlier History of American Corporations, Vol. 4: Eighteenth Century Business Corporations in the United States The term "business corporation" has no precise technical significance. In latter days it is frequently used in a narrow sense. From it are excluded not only public corporations, such as municipalities, and cooperative associations, but also financial corporations - banks and insurance companies - and public service companies. It includes all that heterogeny of agricultural, manufacturing, mining, development, and commercial companies which have not yet been set off in distinct classes, designated by a special group name and subjected to special legislation. In a broader and perfectly legitimate sense, however, the term may be used to designate all corporations formed with the primary object of securing pecuniary gain or avoiding pecuniary loss, for the benefit of the members. In earlier days such companies were occasionally spoken of as "money" or "moneyed" corporations. To the end of the eighteenth century, however, not only had no classification of business corporations been developed, but no sharp line was drawn between these and corporations of other sorts.
