The Analytical Failures of Law and Economics

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the law-and-economics movement, this book critiques its dominant role in American private law by highlighting the implausibility of its assumptions and the narrow focus on efficiency. It argues that several prominent arguments within this framework are flawed due to internal analytical issues, contributing to the ongoing debate about the role of economics in legal theory and suggesting a need for broader perspectives in understanding law's objectives.
