The fields of antitrust, bankruptcy, corporate, and securities law are undergoing tumultuous debates. On one side in each field is the dominant view that each field should focus exclusively on a specific constituency—antitrust on consumers, bankruptcy on creditors, corporate law on shareholders, and securities regulation on financial investors. On the other side is a growing insurgency that seeks to broaden the focus to a larger set of stakeholders, including workers, the environment, and political communities. But these conversations have largely proceeded in parallel, with each debate unfolding within the framework and literature of a single field. Studying these debates together reveals deep commonalities and unlocks useful insights. It can also suggest new theoretical and policy directions while avoiding the dangers of a blinkered approach.

反托拉斯法、破产法、公司法和证券法领域正在经历激烈的辩论。每个领域的一方都有一种主流观点，即每个领域都应该只关注特定的选区——针对消费者的反垄断、针对债权人的破产、针对股东的公司法以及针对金融投资者的证券监管。另一方面是越来越多的叛乱，试图将重点扩大到更多的利益相关者，包括工人、环境和政治团体。但这些对话在很大程度上是平行进行的，每场辩论都在单一领域的框架和文献中展开。一起研究这些辩论揭示了深刻的共性并解锁了有用的见解。它还可以提出新的理论和政策方向，同时避免盲目做法的危险。
