James B. Duke used innovative business methods like exclusive contracts and Rockefeller-inspired trusts to build the American Tobacco Company into a dominant monopoly by the early 20th century. Railroads transformed 19th century America through technological innovations and their economic, political, and social impacts like urbanization and the spread of national markets and communication. There are two perspectives on business power - dominance theory views it as unchecked and excessive due to asset concentration, while pluralist theory sees other institutions providing checks and balances to business influence in a democratic system.

Cronyism: History, Costs, Case Studies and SolutionsAdam Thierer
In this presentation, I offer a definition of cronyism, explain its origins, discuss how various academics have traditionally thought about it, outline a variety of case studies, and then propose a range of solutions.
Chapter 14
War, Recovery &
Regional Divergence
Dr. Mayes-Denker
The Legacy of Slavery
– 13th Amendment to the ConsEtuEon freed all
slaves.
– 14th Amendment to the ConsEtuEon ensured no
“state shall deprive any person of life, liberty or
property without due process of law.”
• Guaranteeing: “the right of ciEzens to vote shall not
be abridged.”
The Legacy of Slavery
– Sharecropping became popular – the tenant & owner
would split the proceeds 50/50
– Sharecropping gave the owner an incenEve to
remain interested in the farm throughout the
growing season and to share informaEon such as
changing crop prices with the tenant.
– Improved roads and the automobile also eroded the
monopoly power of the local storeowners (lenders)
The Legacy of Slavery
– Many believe the South remained a separate
labor market.
• CoUon became increasingly labor intensive as farm
sizes fell
• MechanizaEon was slowed and wages kept low
• A striking wage gap between the north and south
emerged
• LiUle investment was made in Southern schools
• Spending on educaEon best served the wealthy while
forsaking modern economic growth due to producing
ill-prepared workers
Chapter 15
Agriculture’s Western Advance
Dr. Kelli Mayes-Denker
Expansion of Land Under CulEvaEon
– Hope persisted of beUer Emes if only new soil
could be broken further west.
– Total culEvated land doubled between 1870 &
1900.
• PrivaEzing land helped spur this growth
Federal Land Policy
– Timber Culture Act of 1863
– Gave 160 acres to anyone who planted trees on at least 40
acres of the land
– Desert Land Act of 1877
– People could buy 640 acres (a secEon) for $1.25 per acre if
they agreed to irrigate the land within 3 years
Federal Land Policy
– Timber & Stone Act of 1878
– Valuable Ember & stone acres cold be purchased for $2.50
per acre in Nevada, CA, Oregon, Washington
– Timber-Cugng Act of 1878
– CiEzens could cut Ember on federal lands if the lumber was
used for agriculture, mining, or building purposes
Impact of Federal Land Policy
– Large tracts of land went to wealthy individuals
and corporaEons
– GranEng land to railroads was considered normal
public policy
– Good land was ohen fraudulently obtained by
mining and lumber companies or speculators
– Fraud served an economic purpose:
– It helped transfer resources to large companies that could
take advantage of economies of scale
Growth & Change In Agriculture
– 1900 – Texas was the leading producer of coUon
& caUle
– The 19th century brought along several biological
innovaEons to spur growth in agriculture
– Plant varieEes expanded
– IrrigaEon systems modernized
– FerElizers
Growth & Change In Agriculture
• New wheat varieEes allowed for the wheat belt to be
pushed north and west – expanding producEon
• Farmers found new ways to combat bugs & insects
Growth & Change In Agriculture
– 1834 – Cyrus.
Today’s economic and political upheavals reflect an ongoing misalignment between business and economies (on the one hand) and acceptable societal outcomes (on the other). There is still time to adjust, if we are willing to reexamine some long-held assumptions.

Corporate Conclusions
The late environmental scientist, systen1s theorist, lead author of
the early-1970s doomsday report The Limits to Growth, MacArthur
Foundation "genius award" recipient, and anti-corporate campaigner
Donella H. Meadows, while reviewing When Corporations Rule the World,
summarized the anti-corporate agenda in 2000 as follows:
Challenge tl~e Supreme Court decision that gives corporations
fictitious human rights. Persons in corporations should have all
rights, but the corporation itself has no conscience, no moral
accountability, no citizenship. Corporations, says Korten,
"simply do not belong in people's political spaces."
Take. back the corporate charter. Corporations exist by public
permission. If they break the law or act agail1st the public good,
tl1eir charters should be revoked.
Flatly prohibit corporations from influencing the political
process or "educating" the public on policy issues. Forbid
false-front "citizen" lobbying organizations and even corporate
"charitable" givh1g, through which firms often push their own
agendas (for example, by threatening to withdraw public broad-
casting contributions if shows are aired about clearcutting or
overgrazing). If corporations want to serve society, says Korten,
"let them provide good, secure jobs and safe products, mail1tain
a clean environment, obey the law, and pay tl1eir taxes."
Prohibit paid political advertish1g. The ads are misleading, and
their hug~ cost makes candidates beholden to large donors.
192 The Rise of Anti-Corporate Movement
Broadcasters, in return for the right to use the public airways,
should be required to provide free, equal, h1-depth exposure to
all candidates.
Pay for campaigns through a co1nbination of strictly limited,
small individual contributions and public funding. Corporations
should be prohibited from using corporate resources in any way
to favor any candidate. 1
It is a provocative set of proposals, albeit disturbingly laden with words
like "prohibit," "forbid/' and so on. As we have seen, the general goal of
anti-corporate thinkers is 'to bring profit-maximizing, shareholder-.
owned corporations more under the conh·ol of the p'ublic-to confine the ...

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
Personal Brand Statement:

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

14. Two Perspectives on Business Power
o Dominance theory: The view that business is the
most powerful institution in society, because of its
control of wealth

exercised in a society where other institutions also
have great power

excessive

o In a recent poll, 87 percent of Americans felt that “big
companies... have too much... power and influence”

power will broadly and ultimately be directed toward
public welfare
