Description
Contract law as applied in the real world and not just in the law books: the classic study of the social and economic realities of contracts in commercial and trade cases, told through case studies and rich historical analysis. A recognized and oft-cited study in law & society, this volume previously hid out as a rare book or was completely unavailable. Now readily accessible and reasonably priced, it also features a new preface by the author and a new, analytical foreword by Stewart Macaulay.
