Opis

Robin Paul Malloy examines the way in which people experience the intersection of law, markets, and culture. He demonstrates the implications and the ambiguities of law in a market society through case examples, illustrative fact patterns, and problems based on hypothetical situations. His analysis provides a complete and accessible introduction to a vast array of economic terms, concepts, and ideas--making this book a valuable primer for anyone interested in understanding the use of market concepts in legal reasoning.

Recenzje

'Professor Malloy builds a strong and long-needed bridge between humanistic and economic approaches to the study of law. Malloy humanizes market analysis by showing how our conceptions of markets are structured by cultural values. As a law professor and an economist I recommend this book to lawyers, judges, policymakers, and academics who want to sharpen their critiques of market thinking, as well as those who want to be better armed in the defense of markets.'
