As the founder of the Center for Law and Economics at George Mason
University and dean emeritus of the George Mason School of Law,
Henry G. Manne is one of the founding scholars of law and economics
as a discipline. This three-volume collection includes articles,
reviews, and books from more than four decades, featuring "Wall
Street in Transition," which redefined the commonly held view of
the corporate firm.
Volume 1, "The Economics of Corporations and Corporate Law,"
includes Manne's seminal writings on corporate law and his landmark
blend of economics and law that is today accepted as a standard
discipline, showing how Manne developed a comprehensive theory of
the modern corporation that has provided a framework for legal,
economic, and financial analysis of the corporate firm.
Volume 2, "Insider Trading," uses Manne's ground-breaking "Insider
Trading and the Stock Market" as a framework for many of Manne's
innovative contributions to the field, as well as a fresh context
for understanding the complex world of corporate law and securities
regulation.
Volume 3, "Liberty and Freedom in the Economic Ordering of
Society," includes selections exploring Manne's thoughts on
corporate social responsibility, on the regulation of capital
markets and securities offerings, especially as examined in "Wall
Street in Transition," on the role of the modern university, and on
the relationship among law, regulation, and the free market.
Manne's most auspicious work in corporate law began with the two
pieces from the "Columbia Law Review" that appear in volume 1, says
general editor Fred S. McChesney. Editor Henry Butler adds: "Henry
Manne was an innovator challenging the very foundations of the
current learning." "The 'Higher Criticism' of the Modern
Corporation" was Manne's first attempt at refuting the all too
common notion that corporations were merely devices that allowed
managers to plunder shareholders. Manne saw that such a view of
corporations was inconsistent with the basic economic assumption
that individuals either understand or soon will understand the
costs and benefits of their own situations and that they respond
according to rational self-interest.
Fred S. McChesney is James B. Haddad Professor of Law at the
Northwestern School of Law, focusing on business and antitrust law
and their intersection with economic theory. He has been an
associate director for policy and evaluation at the Federal Trade
Commission.
Henry N. Butler, editor of volume 1, is Executive Director of the
Searle Center on Law, Regulation, and Economic Growth at
Northwestern University School of Law.
Stephen M. Bainbridge, editor of volume 2, is William D. Warren
Professor of Law at the UCLA School of Law.
Jonathan R. Macey, editor of volume 3, is Sam Harris Professor of
Corporate Law, Securities Law, and Corporate Finance and is deputy
dean at Yale Law School.
