- Abstract
- Corporations are institutions that pervade almost all stances of current daily life: healthcare, education, various social services, food, sports, culture etc. are today domains of social life covered by corporations. The main thesis of the present paper is that these omnipresent institutions are endowed with a socially uncontrollable nature. As objectifications of human labour on the form of concentrated and centralised capital, corporations are not liable to be conducted on a direction that conflicts with its own dynamics of continuous self-expansion. This explains the successive failures of the attempts to establish limits to its operations: first by means of state controls, then by international organisations and now by their own shareholders and CEOs. Key words: corporations; contemporary capitalism; socio-environmental problems; political-administrative management. Classificação JEL: P17, O10, F5, F02, F01
