Democratizing the Corporation: The Bicameral Firm and Beyond

Description: "Isabelle Ferreras proposes a radical but realistic solution to democratizing the private firm, and twelve experts on corporate behavior consider its viability"--

Review Quotes: "An essential book and a crucial discussion in order to rethink economic democracy and the structure of power relations within firms. A must-read!"
--Thomas Piketty (PSE-ENS, Paris)

"The idea that power should be held to account is widely accepted, but has been woefully neglected in economic relations. Ferreras' path breaking idea to govern firms like democratic governments by dividing rather than centralizing power offers a fertile ground for reimagining firms in the 21st century."
--Katharina Pistor (Edwin B. Parker Professor of Comparative Law & Director, Center on Global Legal Transformation, Columbia Law School, NYC)

"A landmark publication for anyone who believes that capitalism is not the end of history. We deserve a more democratic, just and sustainable economy, one step towards which might well be Isabelle Ferreras's visionary plan for economic bicameralism."
--Hélène Landemore (Full Professor in the Political Science department, Yale University Distinguished Researcher, Institute for Ethics in AI at the University of Oxford)
