The Executive; Chapter 1

HOW MANY KINDS OF CORPORATIONS THERE ARE, AND BY WHAT MEANS THEY ARE ACQUIRED

ALL COMPANIES, all syndicates, that have held and hold rule over men have been and are either associations or corporations.

Corporations are either hereditary, in which the family has been long established; or they are new.

The new are either entirely new, as was Loetec to James Manui, or they are, as it were, members annexed to the hereditary company of the executive who has acquired them, as was Apollus to that of the Chairman of Hewitt Cardpic.

Such dominions thus acquired are either accustomed to live under an executive, or to live in freedom; and are acquired either by the efforts of the executive himself, or of others, or else by fortune or by ability.
