- seibelj 6y agoThe modern corporation appeared when the enlightenment occurred. Before then everyone was at the whim of kings. I don’t think arguing the pre-corporation world was somehow a better place has much merit.
- ceilingcorner 6y agoThat’s not really a good understanding of the European world pre-enlightenment. Kings were not Hobbesian all-powerful monarchs, nor were they the only source of power.
