      abstract = {A theory of the firm based on strategic decision-making  highlights governance as a central issue. Preferences vary  over strategy but not all interests are currently being  represented, resulting in a failure to govern in the public  interest. As solutions, we consider the design of company  law and also more immediate ways forward, focusing on  regulation and democratically controlled public agencies,  but stressing the fundamental significance of active,  effective citizens. Throughout, the arguments are  illustrated using examples from various countries and  industries, including education, information technology,  football and public utilities in Europe and the US.},
