Major enterprises shape our lives in countless ways: big tech and 'surveillance media' that affect democratic debate, algorithms that influence online shopping, transport to work and home, energy and agriculture corporations that drive climate damage, and public services that provide our education, health, water, and housing. The twentieth century experienced swings between private and public ownership, between capitalism and socialism, without any settled, principled outcome, and without settling major questions of how enterprises should be financed, governed and the rights we have in them. This book's main question is 'are there principles of enterprise law', and, if they are missing, 'what principles of enterprise law should there be'? Principles of Enterprise Law gives a functional account of the 'general' enterprise laws of companies, investment, labour, competition and insolvency, before moving into specific enterprises, from universities to the military. It is an original guide to our economic constitution and human rights.

Reviews & endorsements
'The enterprise is both the core institution of modern economies, and the cause of risks which are becoming existential for human society. Rendering the enterprise visible in law is an urgent task of intellectual reconstruction. In this important and highly original work, Ewan McGaughey maps the terrain with erudition and insight.' Simon Deakin, Professor of Law, University of Cambridge
See more reviews'Ewan McGaughey's tour de force has great value for readers of different kinds, (in particular) those interested in the regulatory framework that governs complex enterprises – specifically powerful corporations and institutional investors.… His compilation of enterprise law, in all its aspects, into useful summary chapters serves as a handy reference for anyone seeking an immediate summary of the regulatory structures governing different enterprises within the UK, and a tool to begin further research.' Leo E. Strine, Of counsel, Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz; former Chief Justice and Chancellor, Delaware
