Failure And Forgiveness: A Review, James J. White
Failure And Forgiveness: A Review, James J. White
Reviews
In Failure and Forgiveness, Professor Karen Gross has written two books about bankruptcy.

Now the orthodox view among corporate law scholars is that the corporate fiduciary duty is a norm that requires firm managers to "maximize shareholder value." Giving the corporation itself any serious role in the analysis of fiduciary duty, the thinking goes, obscures scientific insight with bad legal metaphysics. Some recent scholarship and legislation, such as constituency statutes, have challenged this "shareholder primacy" view. Contestants …
