10 Handlin and Handlin makes an excellent companion volume with Dodd, since its corporation discussion is comparatively concise while its political and economic materials illuminate Dodd. For an example of the merger of these techniques, see Dukstra, “Corporations in the Days of the Special Charter,” 1949 Wis. L. Rev. 310, 469.
