Seeing Like a Firm invites readers to do just that by providing a political theory of the business firm. It argues that firms 'see' in a conservative way and embrace a 'conservatism of commerce' that requires socioeconomic inequality. By offering a new interpretation of conservatism based not on preserving the existing system but on an 'aesthetics of inequality', Néron provides an alternative way to think about the main challenges that proponents of equality face.
