Rules, Rubrics and Riches highlights the limitations of existing
approaches to understanding the relationship of the law to the
process of development. It interrogates neoclassical economic
thinking that draws on the narrow rubric of self-interest to
understand the acquisition of riches. It takes issue with both the
traditional 'law and development' movement, that was unable to
shake colonial overtones, and the more recent 'law and economics'
school that continues to emphasise the centrality of rational man
at the micro level and the superiority of linear models of economic
progress at the macro level. Written as an analysis of and
commentary on the contribution of the law to international
development, using legal cases and development trajectories in
China, India and Malaysia, the book makes the case that individuals
do not operate in a vacuum but rather within the social contexts of
larger human structures such as family, community and nation.
Rules, Rubrics and Riches is distinctive in the view that demanding
equality for the individual is inappropriate if this occurs without
looking at the broader context of the need for equity: within
families, communities and nations. The book offers a new frame for
'law and development' thinking that point to a new set of rules,
using a broader rubrics to ensure a sustainable accumulation of
riches. It will be of interest to students and scholars working in
the fields of law and development, development studies and
international and comparative law.
