A corporate bond is a bond issued by a corporation in order to raise financing for a variety of reasons such as to ongoing operations, M&A, or to expand business. The term is usually applied to longer-term debt instruments, with maturity of at least one year. Corporate debt instruments with maturity shorter than one year are referred to as commercial paper.
Definition
The term "corporate bond" is not strictly defined. Sometimes, the term is used to include all bonds except those issued by governments in their own currencies. In this case governments issuing in other currencies (such as the country of Mexico issuing in US dollars) will be included. The term sometimes also encompasses bonds issued by supranational organizations (such as European Bank for Reconstruction and Development). Strictly speaking, however, it only applies to those issued by corporations. The bonds of local authorities (municipal bonds) are not included.
Trading
Corporate bonds trade in decentralized, dealer-based, over-the-counter markets. In over-the-counter trading dealers act as intermediaries between buyers and sellers. Corporate bonds are sometimes listed on exchanges (these are called "listed" bonds) and ECNs. However, vast majority of trading volume happens over-the-counter.
The Little Secret About Corporate Profits | Robert Reich
Every month we get reporting on prices.
We get reporting on jobs.
We get reporting on wages.
You know what we don’t get? Reporting on corporate profits.
Corporate America wants to keep it this way.
Workers get blamed for inflation. Corporations get cover for their greed.

Corporate Music - How to Compose with no Soul
In this video I explore how corporatism produces soulless music, some of which is amusingly awful! I also explore how tech and oil companies with dubious business practices use music as part of propaganda campaigns to convince the public that they support ecological activism. With some music theory thrown in along the way, I also compose a few kinds of different corporate styles to show the various tropes that exist. Some of it is blundering nonsense. Some of it is a little more sinister. All of it is garbage. Enjoy!

How the Corporate Takeover of American Politics Began | Robert Reich
The corporate takeover of American politics was rapid and ruthless.
In 1976, I watched as thousands of corporate lobbyists descended on Washington. Fast forward to today, and lobbying has become a $3.7 billion dollar industry.
It all began with the Powell Memo.

Corporate America has become obsessed with company culture but those Friday afternoon drinks and team building days are papering over a terrible trend which is making your workplace miserable and stalling your career. Company culture is one of the biggest trends in corporate management.
Small companies with as few as twenty employees are hiring culture managers whose full-time job is to promote a collaborative and positive work environment. These are full time employee that from a bottom-line business perspective do nothing but make the other nineteen employees more engaged with their work. According to a survey of job seekers and hiring managers conducted by Robert Half a workforce analytics firm, ninety one percent of managers said that a candidates fit with the organizational culture was more important than their skills and experience.
Hilariously a PWC survey on company culture found that sixty nine percent of companies believed their culture gave them a competitive edge… presumably over the thirty one percent of companies that realized that an office doesn’t need a ping pong table and kombucha on tap to be a nice place to work. Managing corporate culture is expensive, corporate culture managers are earning an average salary package of one hundred and ten thousand dollars a year according to GlassDoor. Direct salary expenses also don’t capture the additional costs of running culture events, and the lost manhours in the name of team building.
It’s a big investment and one that is not paying off.
If corporate culture is starting to sound less like an annoying business buzzword and more like a horrifying trend that was only the first reason out of four.
So, it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out why corporate America has become obsessed with company culture.

Corporate America wants to dehumanize you and turn you into a human resource… but… that’s actually a good thing…
The most expensive and difficult part of running any business is managing the workers. Companies can achieve great success just by hiring the right talent even if their product offering is below the standard of competitors. Companies can also fail if they hire bad employees even if the rest of the business out-classes their competitors.
The success of any business hinges on a group with diametrically opposed motivations to the owners. As an employee you want to be paid a lot of money, but your company wants to pay you as little as it can. As an employee you want to work flexible hours, but your company wants you to be available at all times just in case something comes up. As an employee you want a comfortable working environment, but your company wants everybody to give up working from home to come in to open plan offices that are cheaper than giving people space and privacy.
Back before the World War One the opposition between employers and employees was not kept a secret. The new industrialists demanded long hours in dangerous factories and the workers pushed back through organized and often violent strikes. The industrialists still had the upper hand because they could easily hire able bodied men from farm work that paid less.
After the war skills became more important and just being able bodied was not enough to work in the more mechanized factories of the early twentieth century. Skilled labor unions were gaining the upper hand. The industrialists needed a new approach to ensure they could keep getting the most out of their workers and so Human Resources was born.
The first HR department was formed in 1901 by the National Cash Register Company, they called it the Personnel Management Department and it was formed in response to several organized staff walkouts and strikes over working conditions and pay.
The National Cash Register Company employed workers skilled in arithmetic to keep books for regional banks before electronic computers. The people working on the floor of this business were actually called computers, that was their job title, the automated adding machines that came later would be named after them, but that’s a story for How History Works.
The new Personnel Management Department was established to do three things. One, train management on new workplace laws and policies, two, handle hiring and firing of workers, and three, mediate workplace grievances between employees and managers. What the company had done was privatize a labor union and bring it directly under their control while making it appear as if they were doing this all for the good of their employees.
Because the National Cash Register Company employed skilled workers that were hard to train and replace their new Personnel Management Department made sense to be the prototype HR department, but one hundred and twenty years later nothing has changed. When Starbucks, Amazon and Walmart fight against worker unionization they say that a union will just get in the way of working directly with the company to resolve worker grievances.
No matter how they present themselves human resources works for the company, they want to turn you into a resource that’s cheap, hardworking and doesn’t complain but the best part is this can easily be used to your Advantage.
So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out why corporate America trying to dehumanize you is actually a good thing.

The corporate takeover of American politics was rapid and ruthless.
In 1976, I watched as thousands of corporate lobbyists descended on Washington. Fast forward to today, and lobbying has become a $3.7 billion dollar industry.
It all began with the Powell Memo.

Corporate America wants to dehumanize you and turn you into a human resource… but… that’s actually a good thing…
The most expensive and difficult part of running any business is managing the workers. Companies can achieve great success just by hiring the right talent even if their product offering is below the standard of competitors. Companies can also fail if they hire bad employees even if the rest of the business out-classes their competitors.
The success of any business hinges on a group with diametrically opposed motivations to the owners. As an employee you want to be paid a lot of money, but your company wants to pay you as little as it can. As an employee you want to work flexible hours, but your company wants you to be available at all times just in case something comes up. As an employee you want a comfortable working environment, but your company wants everybody to give up working from home to come in to open plan offices that are cheaper than giving people space and privacy.
Back before the World War One the opposition between employers and employees was not kept a secret. The new industrialists demanded long hours in dangerous factories and the workers pushed back through organized and often violent strikes. The industrialists still had the upper hand because they could easily hire able bodied men from farm work that paid less.
After the war skills became more important and just being able bodied was not enough to work in the more mechanized factories of the early twentieth century. Skilled labor unions were gaining the upper hand. The industrialists needed a new approach to ensure they could keep getting the most out of their workers and so Human Resources was born.
The first HR department was formed in 1901 by the National Cash Register Company, they called it the Personnel Management Department and it was formed in response to several organized staff walkouts and strikes over working conditions and pay.
The National Cash Register Company employed workers skilled in arithmetic to keep books for regional banks before electronic computers. The people working on the floor of this business were actually called computers, that was their job title, the automated adding machines that came later would be named after them, but that’s a story for How History Works.
The new Personnel Management Department was established to do three things. One, train management on new workplace laws and policies, two, handle hiring and firing of workers, and three, mediate workplace grievances between employees and managers. What the company had done was privatize a labor union and bring it directly under their control while making it appear as if they were doing this all for the good of their employees.
Because the National Cash Register Company employed skilled workers that were hard to train and replace their new Personnel Management Department made sense to be the prototype HR department, but one hundred and twenty years later nothing has changed. When Starbucks, Amazon and Walmart fight against worker unionization they say that a union will just get in the way of working directly with the company to resolve worker grievances.
No matter how they present themselves human resources works for the company, they want to turn you into a resource that’s cheap, hardworking and doesn’t complain but the best part is this can easily be used to your Advantage.
So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out why corporate America trying to dehumanize you is actually a good thing.
A corporate bond is a bond issued by a corporation in order to raise financing for a variety of reasons such as to ongoing operations, M&A, or to expand business. The term is usually applied to longer-term debt instruments, with maturity of at least one year. Corporate debt instruments with maturity shorter than one year are referred to as commercial paper.
Definition
The term "corporate bond" is not strictly defined. Sometimes, the term is used to include all bonds except those issued by governments in their own currencies. In this case governments issuing in other currencies (such as the country of Mexico issuing in US dollars) will be included. The term sometimes also encompasses bonds issued by supranational organizations (such as European Bank for Reconstruction and Development). Strictly speaking, however, it only applies to those issued by corporations. The bonds of local authorities (municipal bonds) are not included.
Trading
Corporate bonds trade in decentralized, dealer-based, over-the-counter markets. In over-the-counter trading dealers act as intermediaries between buyers and sellers. Corporate bonds are sometimes listed on exchanges (these are called "listed" bonds) and ECNs. However, vast majority of trading volume happens over-the-counter.
