This is the question at the heart of \u003cem\u003eCapitalism before Corporations\u003c\/em\u003e. It examines the extent to which legal institutions of the Regency period, especially Lord Eldon's Chancellorship, were sympathetic to the needs of merchants and willing to accommodate their changing practices and demands within established legal doctrinal frameworks and contemporary political economic thought. In so doing, this book probes at the heart of modern debates about equity, trusts, insolvency, and the justifiability of corporate privileges. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCorporations are an integral part of modern life. We bank with corporations, we usually buy our groceries from them, and they provide us with most news and media. We take it for granted too that most large-scale business, and even much small-scale business, is carried out by corporations. Things were not always so. Televantos considers the Bubble Act of 1720, which criminalised the forming of corporations without a Royal Charter or Act of Parliament, its repeal in 1825, and the subsequent impact. Much of the modernisation of Britain's industry therefore took place before general incorporation was allowed. Unaided by statute, traders had to create business organisations using the basic building blocks of private law: trusts, partnership, and agency.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndreas Televantos, \u003cem\u003eAssociate Professor, Oxford University\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAndreas Televantos is an Associate Professor at the University of Oxford Law Faculty, and the Hanbury Fellow and Tutor in Law at Lincoln College.
