Analyses of Corporate Liberalism

Berk, Gerald with replies by Livingston, James and Vogel, David. Title: CORPORATE LIBERALISM RECONSIDERED: A REVIEW ESSAY. Citation: Journal of Policy History 1991 3(1): 70-84. ISSN: 0898-0306 Abstract: Reviews James Livingston's Origins of the Federal Reserve System: Money, Class and Corporate Capitalism, 1890-1913 (1986) and Martin J. Sklar's The Corporate Reconstruction of American Capitalism, 1890-1916: The Market, the Law, and Politics (1988), two books that discuss corporate liberalism, an ideology in which the principles of classical liberalism are "reconstituted to assimilate large-scale concentrations of property and organizational hierarchy associated with the modern corporation." Livingston accepts Berk's criticism of his argument but disagrees with Berk's contention that there was an alternative to the evolution of corporate capitalism. Vogel disagrees with Berk's view that there was an alternative to corporate capitalism during the Progressive Era, claiming that small business existed and continues to exist alongside mass production rather than as an alternative to it. also:

Title: REMARKS CONCERNING MARTIN J. SKLAR'S THE CORPORATE RECONSTRUCTION OF AMERICAN CAPITALISM, 1890-1916. Citation: Business and Economic History 1992 21: 40-42. ISSN: 0894-6825 Abstract: Examines Martin Sklar's 1988 book, Corporate Reconstruction of American Capitalism, which explores the turn-of-the-century rise of corporate liberalism, and its cross-class nature, with extensive attention devoted to antitrust laws. Sklar underplays the transformation of the middle class during 1890-1916, and is incorrect when he states that there was no corporatism in America at the tim-hat the Wilsonian settlement took antitrust out of the political arena. Documentation: Sklar's reply, pp. 43-45.

Thanks for the leads. I would add, then, Berk's 1994 Alternative Tracks, which elaborates on his claim to an alternative to corporate liberalism (I think he called it regional republicanism).--RedJ 17 17:52, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Rewrite

This article doesn't really say what corporate liberalism is - it's just some citations for who has discussed the content. I don't know enough about these particular uses of corporate liberalism as a concept, but the article was unhelpful in providing an overview. Needs help! --Jajasoon 19:57, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
