Our Hidden History of Corporations in the United States

In the early days of our country, we allowed the creation of corporations to fulfill specific needs of society. This shared financial responsibility facilitated projects desired by residents of the state granting the charter (a license to exist).

Business corporations were intended to serve a specific purpose--performing one designated business activity--and nothing else. Our country's founders had a healthy fear of corporations and allowed them to form only with strict limits.

Most of this vital history is unknown to citizens today, but it can provide critical understanding and tools for solving today's most pressing problems. Read more about the hidden history of corporations in America.
