Robert Rhee

A board’s duty of care implies exposure to liability, but the business judgment rule precludes it. Tort law finds fault; corporation law excuses it.

This book consists of four essays about American corporate governance. Three essays trace how three particular presumptions …

You want to start a business: not just an ordinary business, producing ordinary social benefit, but a dual-mission business that will both make a profit and benefit the environment.
