Law's Order:
What Economics Has to Do with Law and Why It Matters
David D. Friedman

Book Description | Table of Contents

ADDITIONAL ENDORSEMENTS:

"David Friedman explains in clear and accessible language what basic economic theory adds to the understanding of law, and how simple concepts of rationality, value, and transaction costs can go a long way to bring out the hidden unity among various diverse branches of law. Whether one speaks of the complexities of marginal deterrence, the resolution of disputes between farmers and railroads, or the social functions of copyright and patent law, Friedman's book provides the outsider to the field with a comprehensive but accessible account of his legal subject matter."--Richard A. Epstein, University of Chicago
