What's the "natural law aspect" by which their liability is limited to

I'll grant that aspect is more theoretical and expedient. I was

on your sweeping generalization, "Corporations exist [only] because they
provide an economic benefit to the society as a whole."

And that's precisely the historical justification for the legal entity of a
limited-liability corporation, Richard. There is nothing else there.
