Contested Commodities
Margaret Jane Radin
How far should society go in permitting people to buy and sell goods and services? Margaret Jane Radin addresses this controversial issue in a detailed exploration of contested commodification. As a philosophical pragmatist, the author argues for a conception of incomplete commodification, in which some contested things can be bought and sold, but only under carefully regulated circumstances.

Framing Contract Law
Victor Goldberg
The central theme of this book is that an economic framework--incorporating such concepts as information asymmetry, moral hazard, and adaptation to changed circumstances--is appropriate for contract interpretation, analyzing contract disputes, and developing contract doctrine. The value of the approach is demonstrated through the close analysis of major contract cases.
