Reviews

'Law creates and regulates our political and economic life. If the legal institutions of citizenship and political authority, property and contract, money and credit, or labor and capital were put together differently, our world might be more equal, productive, democratic, sustainable and just. This terrific collection explores how this might be done. Each essay puts law at the center of a story about political economy and asks how things might be otherwise. Original, broad-reaching and imaginative, these essays will change how you think about the world: what seemed natural and inevitable will seem open to rethinking and remaking. An excellent overview of law's role in contemporary political economy by some of the most creative thinkers in the legal academy today.'
