This book addresses two countervailing challenges to theory and policy in law and economics. The first is the rise of legal origins theory, which denies the comparative law view of convergence between common law and civil law by the assertion of an economic superiority of common law. The second is the series of economic crises in the very financial markets on which that assertion was based. Both trends unsettled certainties about the rule of law and institutional economics.

Meeting legal origins theory in its main areas of political science, sociology and economics, the book extends...

Das britische Arbeitsrecht unterscheidet sich aufgrund seiner Pragung durch das Common Law wesentlich von den kontinentaleuropaischen Rechtsordnungen.

Till Bottcher legt in seinem Buch den Fokus auf die rechtsformabhangigen Organisationsstrukturen grenzuberschreitend tatiger Non-Profit-Organisationen sowie auf die in der Rechtspraxis besonders relevanten Fragen der Rechtsformeignung, der Vertraglichkeit und des Verhaltnisses zwischen gemeinnutziger und unternehmerisch-wirtschaftlicher Tatigkeit sowie die Auslagerung wirtschaftlicher Tatigkeiten auf andere Trager. Um den Blick ganz auf die wesentlichen funktionalen Unterschiede richten zu konnen, wird der Rechtsvergleich auf einen Vergleich mit dem englischen Recht unter Ausklammerung der...

This book offers a vision of economics in which there is no place for universal laws of nature, and even for laws of a more probabilistic character. The author avoids interpreting the practice of economics as something that leads to the formulation of universal laws or laws of nature. Instead, chapters in the book follow the method of contemporary philosophy of science: rather than formulating suggestions for practicing scientists of how they should do research, the text describes and interprets the very practice of scientific research. This approach demonstrates how economists can explain...
