Dorothy Lund, assistant professor of law the University of Southern California, and Elizabeth Pollman, professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania, join the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss their article The Corporate Governance Machine.

This system, the authors find, has served to arrest the development of and innovations in corporate governance and law.
