The Corporation in the Twenty-First Century: An evening with Sir John Kay - POSTPONED
Kellogg College and the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship are delighted to welcome acclaimed economist, Sir John Kay, for a conversation about his new book, The Corporation in the Twenty-First Century: Why (Almost) Everything We Are Told About Business Is Wrong (Profile Books, 2024).

The book surveys the vast economic transformations that have occurred since the days of Adam Smith and Karl Marx, when capitalists built and controlled mills and factories. In contrast, both products and production today are increasingly dematerialized: the goods and services provided by the leading companies of the twenty-first century appear on your screen, fit in your pocket, or occupy your head. As Sir John argues, the consequences of this shift are upending classic ideas about the means of production, capital, and corporate power.
