Summary
If you picked up this book, opened it to this page, and started reading this sentence, chances are you are a person.
My assumption in writing this book is that its readers would be persons, i.e., human beings, actual flesh and blood people. I figured you might be a student, a professor, a lawyer, a business executive, a policymaker, an activist, or any other person who is interested in the role of corporations in our society today. What I did not contemplate is that the reader of this book would be a corporation.
