About publicly owned businesses

[griffin]

I was similarily scratching my head about corporations in Rome, but my wife remembers reading something in a textbook about Roman Law. We can't recall the title, but we can assure you that a book on it exists. There was a strange paarallel between the language defining a joint-business and the language defining a criminal conspiracy.

I know this doesn't really help, but I think it had an orange cover...

hope this helps....
