'Dagan and Heller emphasize the interpersonal dimension of freedom in contractual relations. In a world where contract is ever stronger entrenched through public and private regulation, this book comes as an urgently needed reminder to the preservation of freedom of contract as a social-political project.' Hans-Wolfgang Micklitz, European University Institute, Florence
