I have always been enamored of corporations. They wield great power, money, and resources. As such, they are positioned to make a significant impact on societies. Corporations, whether they are good or bad, shape societies. Their influence goes beyond the board room, as corporations shape and drive legislation on myriad issues including regulation, medical and technological research, tax structures, and education. Often beloved for what they do and hated for what they do not do, corporations are a viable part of American life that lead us to some unexpected ways of understanding the relationships among labor, gender, and race.
