2010 Reprint of original 1956 edition. Paperback, 114pp. Mises wrote and lectured extensively on behalf of classical liberalism and is seen as one of the leaders of the Austrian School of economics. Mises introduced praxeology as a more general conceptual foundation of the social sciences and established that economic laws were only arrived at through the means of methodological individualism firmly rejecting positivism and materialism as a foundation for the social sciences. Many of his works were on two related economic themes:1. Monetary economics and inflation; 2. The differences between government controlled economies and free trade.

The Companies Act (No. 71 of 2008) introduced many concepts, principles and rules that were foreign to South Africa's common law. However, the new Act does not indicate clearly to what extent it replaces the common law. Corporate law for commerce students is thus a much-needed guide to the structure and fundamentals of the new company regime. Corporate law for commerce students covers three types of business venture, namely partnerships, companies and close corporations, which each carry different rights and obligations, and ultimately liabilities, for the entrepreneur. It discusses, inter alia, how to choose the right option for a specific business; the partnership concept, the establishment of a legal personality; compliance, transparency and accountability; shares, securities, stock and debt instruments; fundamental transactions, takeovers and offers; business rescue and compromise with creditors; and termination and dissolution - all within the framework of the new Companies Act and the common law. It includes figures, tables and mind maps to clarify each topic, and provides assessments at the end of each chapter. Corporate law for commerce students is aimed at students studying commercial law, business entities or corporate law.

In Third Party Funding, Gian Marco Solas, for the first time, describes third party funding (TPF) as stand-alone practice within the wider litigation and legal services' markets. The book reports on legal issues related to TPF in both common law and civil law jurisdictions, and in the international context. It then discusses the incentives and economics of TPF transactions in different legal contexts while explaining how the practice emerged and how it is likely to develop. In addition, the book offers practical insights into TPF transactions and analyzes a number of regulatory proposals that could affect its use and desirability. This work should be read by scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and anyone else interested in how TPF is changing the practice of law.

Business and Investment in Brazil provides a thorough analysis of Brazilian business law for investors and their legal advisers, focusing on topics relevant to business transactions and disputes that can arise in the aftermath of the signing or performance of deals. The essence of investment and negotiation processes is risk evaluation and allocation. Examining Brazilian law through the eyes of an international transaction lawyer, Peter Sester focuses on the legal risks, which are higher in Brazilian law than elsewhere, particularly in comparison with contract, partnership, and company (LLC) laws governing international business transactions in the US and UK. However, whilst Brazilian contract law remains a risk factor as a result of its over-ambitious and consequently interventionist approach, Brazilian law in the areas of stock corporation, capital market, antitrust, and public procurement are state-of-the-art when compared to the US and leading European laws in Germany, Switzerland, and France. This book is divided into eight chapters: the introduction provides an overview of the economic and legal framework for doing business in Brazil, focusing on features of the Brazilian legal and economic order that are unusual to international practitioners from a comparative perspective. The other seven chapters analyze those fields of substantive law that impact most investments and cross-border transactions in Brazil. They include important historical and economic context such as inflation indexation and the broad use of good faith, as well as explorations of common legal pitfalls such as the limited scope of freedom of contract and its mandatory provisions. The book focuses on the interpretation of statutory law by the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice and regulatory agencies, and also provides insights into the economic and business rationale of some of the legal solutions offered.

Das Grundlegende Lehrbuch zur Verfassungslehre. Es geht weitreichend neue Wege. Im ersten Abschnitt - "Staat und Staatsordnung" - werden als Voraussetzung zunachst die Aufbaubedingungen des Staates bestimmt. Dies derart, dass zu Gebiet und Volk noch Fuhrung, Ordnung, Fuhrungsverhalten und Unabhangigkeit als Staatsbedingungen hinzutreten. Und sodann wird als "Sitz" die Staatsverfassung naher auf die Staatsordnung eingegangen. Im zweiten Abschnitt - "Die Staatsverfassung als Staatsordnung" - wird diese als Hauptteil der Staatsordnung bestimmt, bestehend aus einer engeren Verfassung, Grundlagen der weiteren und aus der sonstigen Verfassung. Der dritte Abschnitt - "Die Arten der Verfassung: Die Staatsformen" - ist in Hauptstaatsformen und Nebenstaatsformen gegliedert. Erstere sind Einherrschaft (Monokratie), Mehrherrschaft (Pleokratie) und Vielherrschaft (Polykratrie), jede untergliedert vor allem nach absoluter (unbeschrankter) und relativer (beschrankter) sowie unmittelbarer und mittelbarer Herrschaft. Zu allem sind in betrachtlichem Umfang nicht nur andere Absichten, insbesondere namhafte, einbezogen, sondern ebenfalls, vom Altertum bis in die Gegenwart - Verfassungen."
