• Sommario/riassunto: The economic analysis of law has revolutionized legal scholarship and teaching in the last half-century, but it has focused mostly on private law, business law, and criminal law.

Featuring lucid, accessible writing and engaging examples, 'Public Law and Economics' addresses enduring topics in public law as well as modern controversies, including gerrymandering, voter identification laws, and qualified immunity for police.
