Recenzje

'New Private Law Theory is an astonishingly wide-ranging and perceptive book, which applies a vast array of methods - from Guido Calabresi's economics through Niklas Luhman's social theory to Michel Foucault's philosophy - to an equally broad set of concrete legal cases - from products liability through loan contracts to sports arbitration. Throughout, the book simply brims with insights and ideas. It will open the eyes of law students and reinvigorate the thinking of established scholars.' Daniel Markovits, Guido Calabresi Professor of Law, Yale Law School
