In discussions moderated by the editors and Tobin staff, contributors and respondents engaged in lively debates over the significance of the shift from special to general incorporation, the regulatory dimensions of the corporate income tax, and the advent of New Deal-era corporate liberalism. In the months to come, the scholars will continue developing their research and refining their chapters to cohere around the central themes of the volume, with the leadership of editors Naomi Lamoreaux and Bill Novak
