Larry Cunningham: From John Weinberg’s 1948 Thesis, Delaware's Challenge, to the Modern Boardroom

In this episode of the Boardroom Governance Podcast, Evan Epstein interviews Lawrence Cunningham, Director of the John Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware, about the Center's 25th-anniversary project centered around John Weinberg's 1948 Princeton thesis on corporate directorship. They explore the historical context and continued relevance of governance debates, Delaware's evolving role in corporate law, implications of SB21, and the enduring influence of figures like Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett. The discussion also covers the future of Berkshire Hathaway and Cunningham's vision for the Weinberg Center, as well as the evolving responsibilities of corporate directors.
