This provocative book brings together twenty-plus contributors
from the fields of law, economics, and international relations to
look at whether the U.S. legal system is contributing to the
country’s long postwar decline. The book provides a comprehensive
overview of the interactions between economics and the law—in
such areas as corruption, business regulation, and federalism—and
explains how our system works differently from the one in most
countries, with contradictory and hard to understand business
regulations, tort laws that vary from state to state, and
surprising judicial interpretations of clearly written contracts.
This imposes far heavier litigation costs on American companies
and hampers economic growth.
