Overview and Economic Analysis of Property and Criminal Law (Law and Economics)

Volume I of the three-volume series entitled Law and Economics which contains some of the key commentaries on the application of economic analysis to law. In this volume, Wahl (Carleton College) offers 18 articles and four case studies that explain and criticize the economic approach to law. They also classify articles and cases along standard legal lines such as property, contract, tort, criminal, and the like, even though the unifying principles of economics often blur these boundaries.
