This book introduces the reader to a number of ideas and issues
that underlie the English law of contract-an area of law that is
often regarded as forbiddingly dry and technical but which is here
made easy to understand and full of interest. Taking as its
starting point the role contract law plays in helping markets to
operate, the book explains how contract law regulates the
commercial risks people take, while at the same time placing limits
on what may be bought and sold, and ensuring that contractual
powers are not unacceptably abused. A final chapter discusses how
contract law can be used to make gifts of binding promises to other
people. The book provides a rigorous and stimulating journey
through the ideas underpinning contract law and is essential
reading for anyone with an interest in the subject. 'Clearly
written and bursting with interesting and novel ideas, this lively
book will be a great resource for anyone interested in Contract
Law.' Paul S Davies, Professor of Commercial Law, University
College London
