Description
The New Law and Economic Development: A Critical Appraisal by David M. Trubek and Alvaro Santos This collection of essays explores a new phase in thinking about the role of law in economic development, tracing its history and analyzing its current state. The authors examine how this emerging paradigm differs from previous approaches to using law as an instrument for social and economic progress. The book provides a comprehensive treatment of this idea, situating it within the intellectual and historical framework of influential development models since World War II. By examining the tensions and contradictions in current practice, Trubek and Santos offer a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between law, economics, and development. Through its analysis, this work sheds light on the evolving nature of law's role in economic development, making it a valuable resource for scholars and professionals in the field.
