Identity In/Corporation

This idea is only imperfectly captured in the concept of "legal fiction," since the latter
concept is epistemologically ambiguous regarding the logical characteristics of
constructs. Ambiguity in the concept of "legal fiction" can result in two opposite and
self-contradictory conclusions regarding corporate personality. One is that the
corporation is entitled to equal protection of the laws, since it is analogous to a
traditionally conceived individual. The legitimized construct lives on as an entity,
often in perpetuity, even after changes in membership or the death of a member of the
"interest group." After this sketch of the general theory of corporate forms of property, it
might be helpful by way of illustration to point out some problem areas of corporate
property in the context of democratic theory. In the first part of this analysis, the
incompatibility of the labor theory of value and the construct theory of property was
examined. In spite of this logical incompatibility, both these elements are often fused
together in democratic culture. The lawyer's culture provides and uses the forms and
logic of construct theory, while a different relation of property, possession, and labor is
still entrenched in ideologies and belief systems. This is, at least in part, a reason for the
problems of psychological alienation in the wake of the increasingly abstract and
impersonal nature of the constructs of property.
Toward a Democratic Theory of Property
and the Modern Corporation

The modern corporation, however, . is a new development in the growth of
analytically conceived property relations. At the apex of this hierarchy was the Sun,
tutelary deity of the Inkas and "father" of all their sovereigns. Naturally, the Sun always
received the most important sacrifices and was the most authoritative in the entire
panoply of imperial oracles.

Yet the right of property is given its meaning through measurement of labor, ... In
Anglo-American property law there is freedom to make the most ingenious
arrangements. The concept of the corporation with all its impersonal relations is such an
arrangement. the nature of property is further complicated by the appearance of the
massive and relatively new form of property, the modern corporation.
