Corporations - Economics Dictionary of Arguments | |||
Corporations: Corporations in economics are legal entities separate from their owners, created to conduct business. They can own assets, incur liabilities, and enter contracts. Shareholders own corporations, but their liability is limited to their investment. Corporations aim to generate profit, often providing benefits like easier capital accumulation, perpetual existence, and limited personal financial risk for owners. See also Business, Economy, Cartels._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
