- Capital Rules
- Rawi Abdelal
- In an intellectual, legal, and political history of financial globalization, Rawi Abdelal shows that global financial markets were not always premised on the idea that capital ought to flow freely across country borders. Contrary to conventional accounts, Abdelal argues that European policy makers promoted the liberal rules that compose the international financial architecture, while U.S. policy makers have tended to embrace unilateral, ad hoc globalization.

- 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.
