Predatory capitalism, pragmatism, and legal positivism in the airlines industry
Article Abstract:
Lawyers and corporate leaders who have an understanding of the law and the structures of power in the US have a unique ability to attain business ends which can be and is used to protect and increase share-owner wealth. Historically contingent structures of thought and situational circumstances, which are representations of the social order, enable and limit the legal actions that support business ends. They constitute the medium and the end result of the actions they structure. A theoretical framework that demonstrates how action and order are related is presented. This model is used to investigate the primary structures of thought and certain situational circumstances that facilitate and restrain the actions of corporate leaders in the airlines industry. Finally, a model of complex, high-stakes situations where increasing resource commitments may result in increasingly flexible legal interpretations is presented.
