Its 'doctrines' are in fact virtually all default rules. Contract Law Minimalism advances the thesis that commercial parties prefer a minimalist law that sets out to enforce what they have decided - but does nothing else. The limited capacity of the legal process is the key to this 'minimalist' stance. This book considers evidence that such minimalism is indeed what commercial parties choose to govern their transactions. It critically engages with alternative schools of thought, that call for active regulation of contracts to promote either economic efficiency or the trust and co-operation necessary for 'relational contracting'. The book also necessarily argues against the view that private law should be understood non-instrumentally (whether through promissory morality, corrective justice, taxonomic rationality, or otherwise). It sketches a restatement of English contract law in line with the thesis. 410 0$aLaw in Context. 606 $aContracts 606 $aCommercial law 606 $aContracts$xPhilosophy 615 0$aContracts. 615 0$aCommercial law. 615 0$aContracts$xPhilosophy. 676 $a346.02/2 686 $aLAW021000$2bisacsh 700 $aMorgan$b Jonathan$g(Jonathan Edward),$01667234 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811843903321 996 $aContract law minimalism$94026945 997 $aUNINA
