She explores how literary and cultural representations of the corporation in nineteenth-century America helped shift its perception from a public tool meant to serve the common good to an instrument of private enterprise. Mueller highlights how artists, writers, lawyers, and economists represented this transformation through narrative and metaphor, drawing on a range of legal, literary, and visual texts. She demonstrates that the corporation's public origins and fundamentally collective nature continued to be relevant much longer than previous scholarship has argued.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781399505017\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stefanie Mueller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46641841766650,"sku":"9781399505017","price":20.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1725630036334_book.jpg?v=1725780744","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-corporation-in-the-nineteenthcentury-american-imagination-9781399505017","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
