Michigan Law and Benefit Corporations

I love the idea of social enterprises and benefit corporations – businesses dedicated to generating financial as well as social returns.   This article provides a cool glimpse into a company and community close to ND.  It also highlights the legal landscape of benefit corporations.  It seems as though benefit corporations are the ideal – the perfect way to foster our capitalistic society while inculcating a sense of camaraderie and societal betterment.  It is refreshing to consider perspectives not wholly focused on shareholders and the bottom line.
