‘This is a well edited collection of important papers which will find a home in university libraries throughout the world. The volume stands testimony to the significance of Richard Posner as the leading thinker of the L and E School.’
– K. Lawler, Economic Issues
The pioneering work of Judge Richard Posner has brought to light the broad relevance of economics to virtually all areas of law. During the last three decades, Judge Posner has provided seminal contributions to the development of an overarching economic theory of law, with applications including traditional legal subjects, such as torts and contracts, as well as non-standard topics, such as his study of primitive law and ancient customs. This selection of Posner’s essays reveals the importance of economic efficiency as a driving force in the formation of private law. The rigorous and insightful introduction by Francesco Parisi discusses Posner’s unparalleled influence on the evolution of law and economics and the understanding of the economic foundations of private law.
