Collection Overview

Collection Description & Creator Information

Scope and Contents

Series 8, Subseries 3, Study of the Corporation (The Individual and the Corporation), 1956-1962, contains correspondence, memoranda, clippings, position papers, and transcripts analyzing the economic order, and the place of the corporation in it. The scholars and businessmen associated with the project were interested in learning how corporate policies and practices affect freedom and justice, employee reactions to these policies and practices, the definition of democracy in a corporate setting, and the impact of conglomerate mergers, foreign operations, automation, and pricing policies on freedom and justice. An ad hoc committee chaired by Carl Auerbach to appraise the work of the Sub-Committee on Antitrust and Monopoly of the Senate Judiciary Committee and a study conducted by Arthur S. Miller of due process in the corporation were two major activities resulting from the study.
