Abstract
Abstract One overarching theme of the book is that the for-profit corporation is a morally responsible person, with a critically important set of duties within democratic society. This persons-based theory of the firm holds that the fundamental purpose of the firm is to create products and services which benefit human persons and stands in contrast to the dominant view which holds that the firm is an amoral actor focussed exclusively on maximizing profits. The theory also holds that corporations have a set of moral rights and duties which are shaped through the democratic process. This connects with the second theme, which holds that democratic societies have a wide prerogative to structure the firm as part of an overall just arrangement of society. This position stands in contrast to views which see firms as governed by the market logic of competition and efficiency. A third theme diagnoses the current relationship between corporations and the rest of democratic society as dysfunctional and proposes ways that the relationship can be transformed into one based on mutual respect. Fourth, the book explores how the failure of corporations to recognize their distinctly democratic duties presents a threat to liberal democratic institutions and values and examines how corporations should respond when they are implicated in attacks on the liberal democratic order.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
