Recenzje

`impressive book ... Their explanation for transformation ... is elegantly composed and always readable, effectively synthesising legal, political and economic explanations ... Davies and Freedland have written what is by some distance the best book on this subject ... Labour Legislation and Public Policy points the way to a more specialised approach, which does not lose sight of the essential need to relate law to its economic and political context' Labour History Review
