Abstract:
This the first essay on the background of this book. Karl traces the evolution of corporate philanthropy from the days of the direct benefit doctrine to the present expanded notion of social responsibility. He concludes that, where once the power of corporations was feared as a power to do harm, society must now cope with their power to do good. (p. 9)
