Economic Foundations of Law and Organization

'This text is interesting and valuable, and has many useful things to say about both law and organization from a solid economic perspective. The author is a well-spring of theoretical knowledge, legal cases, examples, and stories, and this serves his teaching purposes well. An excellent textbook.' Professor Avner Ben-Ner, Carlson School of Management, University of Florida 'This is a fascinating textbook. The writing is simple and down to earth, the ideas often complex and worth thinking about - a terrific combination in any book. It takes a fresh and easily readable approach to some familiar topics in law and economics. It should find a wide audience.' Professor Keith Hylton, Boston University Law School 'I think that everyone teaching law and economics will want to buy a copy of this book. The 'bite-sized' chapters are easy to digest and well-directed. Professor Wittman has given us a concise discussion of a wide range of topics. I can guarantee that it will join David Friedman's book as the subject's most popular crib sheets.' Professor Stephen Medema, University of Colorado, Denver 'Donald Wittman has produced a well-written book, which does what often seems impossible, in that it explains economic terms in a thoroughly straightforward manner. ... this is a book that will prove useful to those who want to acquire some very basic economic language in a clear format. For this alone it would be a useful product.' Industrial Relations Journal
