Professor Day |
Christian C. Day, Professor of Law and Director of The Center for Business Enterprise, recently published "Investor Power & Liquidity: Corporations, Capital Markets and the Industrialization of America," 5 Journal of Small and Emerging Business Law 345 (2001). In this essay, Day examines how the need of investors for liquidity in established capital markets facilitates the evolution of the modern corporate structure. Day explores the interrelation between the financing of businesses through capital markets and the growth and expansion of entrepreneurial management. He then argues that the needs of investors for liquidity helped develop capital markets that allowed businesses to acquire new capital at low costs, facilitating unprecedented expansion and growth. The tension that grew out of the rapid shift away from the traditional capital structure of the small business enterprise to the liquid markets of the large corporation is detailed. Day concludes with an examination of the railroad industry of the nineteenth and twentieth century that exemplified the development of the modern entrepreneurial management structure.
