Description
Generations of law and economics scholars have been fascinated by history, seeing in its institutions and laws a vast database for illuminating their theories. Equally, historians have seen economic analysis as a helpful tool with which to analyze legal institutions. As a result a vibrant field has emerged in which people trained in law, economics, history, and political science have all made significant contributions. This volume brings together the most essential works examining legal history from an economic perspective.
