having a normal one where I'm stressed out about Pope Innocent IV's role in the history of corporate personhood

anyone have recommendations on the historical emergence of the corporation and the concept of property? legal theory tends to assume both as givens

@ingrid I’ve always enjoyed Coase’s theory of the firm paper. Also Chandler, maybe? And Polyani?

@Chanders feel like I need something more Graeber-y--finding the "well the pope had this idea and then it became part of european common law and then" explanations I'm finding a bit too simple in the vein of "money happens because barter complicated"
