Understanding Contract Law provides an accessible, in-depth analysis of the purpose of contracting and the role of the law of contract, as well as theories that inform it, assessing the historical development of this cornerstone of law and how theories are applied in jurisdictions throughout the world.

Recenzje

"Its chapters set out in a coherent sequence most of the principal lines of theoretical inquiry to which the study of the law of contract should give rise … there really is nothing for students like these chapters in UK literature … I myself have tried to utilise the theoretical insights Dr Austen-Baker and Dr Zhou describe in this book in my own work on contract. I am very happy to see this effort continue in the hands of two members of a subsequent generation of contract scholars who have so ably taken on what, in the end, is the most important task …of making those insights of interest to students. I believe Dr Austen-Baker and Dr Zhou have accomplished this task, and have done doing so while conveying the intellectual quality of those insights."
