Part of the International Library of Critical Writings in Economics series, this work features seminal papers selected by leading scholar Martin Ricketts. The text examines the firm from multiple perspectives, contrasting its role as a vehicle for entrepreneurial initiative and business judgement against its function as a policing mechanism for contractual hazards.

This collection is an essential resource for students and professionals studying international business, accounting, and economic theory.
