This is the first book to compile it, to present it  coherently, to evaluate it, and to supply numerous references to  additional sources. The author also offers his own practical  perspective that emphasizes contract law's richness and complexity and  questions the utility of abstract unitary theories. The author argues  that, notwithstanding contract law's complexity, it successfully  facilitates the formation and enforcement of private arrangements and  ensures a degree of fairness in the process of exchange. Each chapter  presents a pair of largely contrasting theories to clarify the central  issue of contract law and theory, to set forth the range of views, and  to help identify a practical middle ground. Among the contract  theories discussed and analyzed are promise, contextual, feminist,  formal, mainstream, critical, economic, empirical, and relational. The  book should interest legal theorists, practising lawyers, law  students, and general readers who want to learn more about contract  law and theory.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-04-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792350637\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5680-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 279\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359037845644,"sku":"9780792350637","price":161.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792350637.jpg?v=1773278094","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792350637","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
