Recenzje

'The first main point of interest in Making Commercial Law is the detailed analysis of how English law and English courts shaped the normative environment within which markets expanded, in England and in a large part of the world … the first introductory chapter (pp. 1–60) should be a must-read for any historian with even a passing interest in the operations of nineteenth-century markets or in the way the Common Law shaped those markets - and not as a dummy variable.' Jérôme Sgard, The Journal of Economic History
