Limited liability is treated as harmless legal plumbing, but it is one of the most powerful privileges granted to wealth in the UK and around the world. In this Funding the Future conversation with Professor Dan Plesch, we explore how corporate law shields shareholders from responsibility, fuels secrecy and tax abuse, and distorts democracy.
We explain where limited liability came from, why it now protects inequality, and what reforms could restore balance between corporations and society.
This matters for tax justice, corporate accountability and the politics of care.
