"Trinitarianism Thick And Thin: A Robust Doctrine Capable Of Simplification" - Dr. Fred Sanders

If all the trees in all the woods were men; 
And each and every blade of grass a pen; 
If every leaf on every shrub and tree 
Turned to a sheet of foolscap; every sea 
Were changed to ink, and all earth's living tribes 
Had nothing else to do but act as scribes, 
And for ten thousand ages, day and night, 
The human race should write, and write, and write, 
Till all the pens and paper were used up, 
And the huge inkstand was an empty cup, 
Still would the scribblers clustered round its brink 
Call for more pens, more paper, and more ink.

What is a corporation? We take them for granted as fixtures of our economic life, and sometimes single them out for fervent praise or blame, but rarely pause to consider what these strange creatures are. How did they arise? What are their moral and legal rights and responsibilities? In this penetrating paper, economic historian Kyle Williams traces their early development, rival understandings of their purpose and legal status, and how they ought to contribute to our economic and social life.
