Companies as a mechanism for joint investment
Posted: Wed Jan 22, 2025 9:40 am
Capitalism without capital? Really? How? Think about it. Meditate on it. This is an essential question of Business Law that few pay attention to. A question that concerns its General Theory , with constitutional implications. This is what we will work on in this essay. And the focus, as the title makes clear, will be on business corporations from an unusual perspective that we developed in Legal Structuring of Companies (Editora Atlas, 2024): their use as an investment mechanism.
Most of the time when we hear examples of business bulk sms finland partnerships, we are talking about partners who work together to carry out a common business activity. In Brazil, there is a tendency to think of partnerships as mechanisms for combining personal efforts, an instrument for joint work. This has always bothered us; after all, it is very little.
If you will pardon the joke, this tendency to understand business partnerships as a mechanism for collective personal action places us at the historical level of Mercantilism. In fact, this is exactly the idea behind the partnership in the name of a general partnership. In the rest of the world, in the so-called “developed countries”, we are already at another historical-economic level: capitalism, that is, an economic environment that recognizes the importance of capital and values it (more than that: it seeks to attract it and encourage its conservation in productive activities).
The purpose of this short, uncommitted essay is to draw attention to this little-used aspect of Corporate Law : companies used not to work together, but as a mechanism for joint investment. The challenge is that most Brazilians, unfortunately, have not yet learned the importance of capital and this leaves us narrow-minded in our vision, posture, behavior, and business actions. This gives rise to a dwarfish Corporate Law, pardon the provocation.
