O knihe

The eminent legal scholar James Willard Hurst's sociological analysis of the relation between law and private business in relation to society at large

Hurst argues that law and business support the same goals of efficiency and humanity, and examines their interrelationship toward that end in terms of ethical issues related to public policy, money supply, the impact of incremental change, inflation and deflation, monopoly and competition, and other economic factors. Based on Hurst's lectures at The
University of Wisconsin in April, 1981.
