Description

This book explores thirteen distinct legal systems from around the world, including Imperial China and modern Amish communities. It examines how these systems functioned, the challenges they faced, and the ways in which they addressed them.

The authors argue that all human societies share common problems, yet approach solutions in unique and varied ways. The book delves into topics such as law based on divine revelation and private, decentralized law enforcement. A final chapter considers features of past legal systems that might be worth adopting in modern times.
