Opis

This rich account of how market forces work in tandem with legal forces is a valuable resource for legal scholars across a wide range of fields that invoke notions of market discipline. Shapira's work is especially relevant to coursework and research on the economic analysis of law and corporate governance.

Recenzje

'Overall, Shapira's explanations are as clear as they can be for such a complex subject. He combines interviews, case studies, and meta-analysis of other studies in various fields that are related to law and reputation, such as consumer behavior and stock market analysis. Each chapter begins with an overview of the chapter's content and how it links to other parts of the book. Readers also benefit from extensive footnotes, with sources from a variety of fields. I recommend the book to any law library that collects in law and economics, business law, or products liability.' Melissa Strickland, Law Library Journal
