Is it immoral to breach a contract? Should a breaching party be punished more harshly for willful breach? Does it matter if the victim of breach engaged in contributory fault? Is there room for a calculus of fault within the 'efficient breach' framework? For generations, contract liability has been viewed as a no-fault regime, in sharp contrast to tort liability. Is this dichotomy real? Is it justified? How do the American and European traditions compare? In exploring these and related issues, the essays in this volume bring together a variety of outlooks, including economic, psychological, philosophical, and comparative approaches to law. 606 $aBreach of contract$zUnited States 606 $aContracts$zUnited States 615 0$aBreach of contract 615 0$aContracts 676 $a346.7302/2 702 $aBen-Shahar$b Omri 702 $aPorat$b Ariel 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459760903321 996 $aFault in American contract law$92465164 997 $aUNINA
