Globalisation, corporate legal liability and big business houses in India
探讨印度有限责任合伙制在新自由主义全球化背景下的发展，揭示大型商业集团如何利用这一法律形式减少潜在责任、扩大利润，而非如新古典理论所描述的那样惠及小企业。
This paper situates the development of the limited liability partnership in India in the context of the real processes of neoliberal 'globalisation' and 'liberalisation', which will distinguish it from the idealised versions put forward by neoclassical theorists. In these processes big business has driven a particular type of 'liberalisation' to expand and enhance its profit opportunities, often using unorthodox methods like legal provisions for the Hindu Undivided Family to gain tax exemptions over the years of change in state policy from dirigisme to neoliberalism. The support by big business for the limited liability partnership, which apparently benefits very small partnerships, can be understood by looking at the ways in which this legal form is likely to further enhance profits by helping big business reduce its potential liabilities.
