More about the book
Exploring the nature of collective entities, the authors present compelling arguments that challenge traditional views on accountability and agency. They delve into the behaviors of companies, churches, and states, positing that these organizations can function as genuine agents distinct from the individuals within them. Grounded in contemporary theories from social choice, economics, and philosophy, the book provides a thought-provoking analysis of group agency and its implications for understanding collective responsibility.
