In Law, Economics, and Conflict, Kaushik Basu and Robert C. Hockett
bring together international experts to offer new perspectives on
how to take analytic tools from the realm of academic research out
into the real world to address pressing policy questions. As the
essays discuss, political polarization, regional conflicts, climate
change, and the dramatic technological breakthroughs of the digital
age have all left the standard tools of regulation floundering in
the twenty-first century. These failures have, in turn,
precipitated significant questions about the fundamentals of law
and economics. The contributors address law and economics in
diverse settings and situations, including central banking and the
use of capital controls, fighting corruption in China, rural credit
markets in India, pawnshops in the United States, the limitations
of antitrust law, and the role of international monetary regimes.
Collectively, the essays in Law, Economics, and Conflict rethink
how the insights of law and economics can inform policies that
provide individuals with the space and means to work, innovate, and
prosper-while guiding states and international organization to
regulate in ways that limit conflict, reduce national and global
inequality, and ensure fairness. Contributors: Kaushik Basu;
