The Financial Crisis And The Future Of Law And Economics, Wladimir D. Kraus
The Financial Crisis And The Future Of Law And Economics, Wladimir D. Kraus
Wladimir D. Kraus
A Failure of Capitalism is a multifaceted contribution to our understanding of the Great Recession. But, due to its overwhelmingly macroeconomic character and substance, the nuanced approach of the law and economics scholarship is virtually absent, and so is any plausible explanation of the financial crisis that touched off the great recession.
