control today's modern romance. You will learn fascinating new
insights into law and economics by seeing these disciplines through

culture will praise this book. Discovering the legal and economic
principles that drove her stories, Jane Austen's Law &
Economics reveals that the more things change, the more they stay

Austen continues to fascinate the modern mind. So sit back, enjoy,
