Reviews

`This is one of the most accessible introductions to Law & Economics with a wide coverageã of topics and approaches. It is one of the very few books on Law & Economics that are written from a genuinely transatlantic perspective.' Florian Wagner-von Papp, University College London, UK ã `This is the best book available for introducing UK-based students to the subject- it is easy to understand without an economics background, uses UK and EU cases, and addresses criticisms of the economic approach without compromising on the need to make sure students can understand and apply the insights of economics to legal issues.' William O'Brian, Warwick School of Law, UK
