The Corporation in the 21st Century

In this thought-provoking audiobook, John Kay examines the evolution of capitalism from traditional factories to the digital age, where products and services are increasingly intangible and accessible. He argues that modern workers embody the means of production, reshaping the relationship between capital and labor, with professional managers gaining wealth through their authority rather than ownership. Kay's insightful analysis challenges conventional views on business success and highlights the paradox of consumer affection for products amidst a growing disdain for their producers. This original work offers a fresh perspective on the nature of corporations in the twenty-first century.
