What's The Deal With Delaware?
About this episode
The episode explores Delaware's unique role in corporate law and the implications of the recent 'Dexit' controversy.
Generally, when people remember that Delaware exists it’s for two boring and embarrassing things: Joe Biden (who wasn’t even born there) and being where a lot of corporations are. Or is it where all the corporations were? Last year, there was a bit of a kerfuffle in Delaware over a potential exodus of corporations out of the state. The so-called “Dexit” appears to have been somewhat exaggerated, but it made the team here at RIP Corp want to dig a little deeper into the corporation capital of the United States: why is it like that? How does this tiny little state shape corporate law across the country? And how does it affect actual people who live in Delaware?
