and sources of rights the construction of markets by firms and
governments and the problem of continuity and change in the form of
the question of the selectively defined status quo and its status
the absolutist character of government, rights, markets and legal
principles and the accepted ideational structure of law. The
Legal-Economic Nexus is an essential read both economists and legal
professionals as well as those researching the history of economic
thought and the social construction of law.
