Jurgen G.Backhaus – The Edgar Companion to Law & Economics (2nd Ed.)

The updated and revised edition of a popular and authoritative reference work introduces the reader to the major concepts and leading contributors in the field of law and economics. The Companion features accessible, informative and provocative entries on all the significant issues, and breaks new ground by bringing together widely dispersed yet theoretically congruent ideas. The renowned contributors look in detail at several critical areas, including the basics of the law and economics approach, private law and economics, public law and economics, labour law and economics, regulation, taxation and public enterprise, and different sources of the law.

REVIEW

A most valuable collection of papers serving to provide the reader both with an overview of some key areas in law and economics and with a biographical introduction to the work of some important, is what Backhaus’s book is a good companion.
