• 00:00:00 The modern corporation has its roots in the Industrial Age, which began in 1712 with the invention of the steam-powered pump. Initially, corporations were created as associations of people with specific goals, such as building a bridge. However, in the late 1800s, corporations began to grow in power, and in the early 20th century, legal cases were brought to the Supreme Court in order to give them equal rights as individuals. This process was eventually used to strip away the rights of many people, particularly African Americans.
