Going to the Humanities to construct a sustainable
organization based on ecological theory, this essay presents a theory of the
firm that is at odds with the profit-maximization premise. I draw on the notion
of the natural wealth of the Golden Age as depicted by such ancient Western
poets as Ovid and Hesiod—who assumed such wealth to be devoid of greed—as a basis
for sustainable organization from ecological theory to produce an alternative
theory of the firm.
The essay is at "The Natural-Wealth Model of the Modern Corporation."
