I have these as general goals for my course "The Firm" which is about the history of companies and such. I want to know what are the most important stuff to know? Is it Adam Smith, is it the history of the limited liability company, is it which role the company plays in society? Some keywords would also be nice to know. The differences between the first, second and third industrial revolution, and how they impacted the economy and how it impacted the growth of limited liability companies. Thanks a lot!
