Corporations have legal rights, and so do many other large-scale organizations. But what does it mean to ascribe rights and personhood to such entities, and what is the rationale for doing so? These are central questions for an organizational society such as ours, and yet they have received consistently little attention in modern political and legal thought. The surface metaphor of treating corporations as persons with rights carries profound consequences-sometimes even reducing individual freedoms in light of the organization's status. Especially after such recent Supreme Court decisions as Citizens United, this effect is as acute today as when this book was first written. Now in its Second Edition, Rights, Persons, and Organizations remains an essential part of any analysis of organizations and their place in the state, fair dispute processing, and real people's rights. The study is penetrating and provocative, and is offered to a new generation reconsidering the place of organizations in complex societies.
