I know history of corporations pretty well, from hundred years war and british and dutch maritime corporation's, thank you. But history is not ethics: what is and what ought to be are two very different things, not to be confused. Explaining how and why something hapenned historically has only tangential relation to how it should happen and how should we view it from an ethical standpoint, and I was talking about the latter, not the former.
- PaulDavisThe1st 6y agoSo you're in the camp of "we'll do without silicon fabrication plants entirely, thank you very much", because I can pretty much guarantee you that the liability that creating the initial versions of this technology would have ensured insufficient capital to proceed. As another comments notes, corporate limited liability is not just, or even primarily, about liability towards your business partners. Build a factory, pollute the water, and without limited liability, you are ruined (which some would argue is the way things ought to be).
