SunsteinNew York Oxford University Press19971 online resource (415 p. )tables0-19-510273-8 Includes bibliographical references and index.In this title, Sunstein presents a wide-ranging analysis of free markets and their limits, and discussion of law and economics as a field. He explores "free markets" and social justice in three main parts. The book raises a number of questions about economic analysis of law in its conventional form.The newest work from one of the most pre-eminent voices writing in the legal/political arena today, this important book presents a new conception of the relationship between free markets and social justice. The work begins with foundations--the appropriate role of existing "preferences," the importance of social norms, the question whether human goods are commensurable, and issues of distributional equity. Continuing with rights, the work shows that markets have only a partial but instrumental role in the protection of rights. The book concludes with a discussion on regulation, developing approaches that would promote both economic and democratic goals, especially in the context of risks to life and health. Free Markets and Social Justice develops seven basic themes during its discussion: the myth of laissez-faire; preference formation and social norms; the contextual character of choice; the importance of fair distribution; the diversity of human goods; how law can shape preferences; and the puzzles of human rationality. As the latest word from an internationally-renowned writer, this work will raise a number of important questions about economic analysis of law in its conventional form.Free enterpriseLawEconomic aspectsSocial justiceFree enterprise.LawEconomic aspects.Social justice.330.12/2Sunstein Cass R145553MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819344403321Free markets and social justice4024157UNINA
