The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 22 Jun 2020The concept of limited liability arguably underpins the upsurge in prosperity since the Industrial Revolution.

Pools of savings could thus be brought together to fund gigantic limited liability companies that spanned continents, funded exploration and innovation and created new jobs, incomes and prosperity that raised billions out of poverty, gave governments the fiscal power to dream and act big, and spawned consuming masses who fuelled further growth in a virtuous cycle. The concept of limited liability is under renewed threat in India.
