Malloy and Evensky bring together a team of international  and interdisciplinary scholars to address the work of Adam Smith as it  relates to law and economics. In addition to their own contributions,  the book includes works by Dr. John W. Cairns of the University of  Edinburgh, Dr. J. Ralph Lindgren of Lehigh University, Professor  Kenneth A.B. Mackinnon of the University of Waikato, and the Honorable  Richard A. Posner of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals.  Together these authors bring expertise from the areas of law,  philosophy, history, economics, and law and economics to a new study  of Adam Smith and his work. \u003cbr\u003e  Part One of the book presents new and important observations on  Smith's views on community, ethics, the court system, criminal law,  and delictual or tort law liability. In this part of the book Smith's  work is also examined from the perspective of his use as persuasive  authority in the works of modern legal economists. In Part Two the  `living Smith' is explored by way of a debate between two major  contributors in the field of law and economics. The debate and its  analysis create a unique and contemporary opportunity to study Smith  as a foundational source in the midst of a current academic and social  policy dispute. \u003cbr\u003e  The understanding of Adam Smith that emerges from this book is new and  complex. It will challenge the one-dimensional portrayals of Smith as  a promoter of self-interest and it will correct many of the  misinterpretations of Smith that are currently fashionable in the  worlds of law and economics and the philosophy of law. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1995-02-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792334255\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-0748-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 223cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 228\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46608111108236,"sku":"9780792334255","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792334255.jpg?v=1773278338","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792334255","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
