This timely and comprehensive book reveals the multifaceted nature of modern contract law and practice. Providing a broad overview of research methods in contemporary contract law, it identifies the various modes of inquiry and argumentative techniques in this dynamic field, providing theoretical depth and practical tools for legal scholarship. Yuliya Chernykh and Joshua Karton bring together a range of specialists in contract law research to address emerging topics within legal scholarship that work well with a combination of methodological approaches.
This edited volume is the first collection of essays exploring the intersection of social economics and the law, providing alternatives to neoclassical law-and-economics and applying them to real-world issues. Law is a social enterprise concerned with values such as justice, dignity, and equality, as well as efficiency - which is the same way that social economists conceive of the economy itself. Social economists and legal scholars alike need to acknowledge the interrelationship between the economy and the law in a broader ethical context than enabled by mainstream law-and-economics. The ten chapters in Law and Social Economics, written by an international assortment of scholars from economics, philosophy, and law, employ a wide variety of approaches and methods to show how a more ethically nuanced approach to economics and the law can illuminate both fields and open up new avenues for studying social-economic behavior, policy, and outcomes in all their ethical and legal complexity.

Por que os contratos obrigam? O que diferencia um contrato de um acordo informal? Contratos têm de ser justos? Quem pode contratar? Por que alguns contratos exigem formalidades específicas e outros não? Juízes favorecem contratantes mais ricos? Violar um contrato pode ser a coisa certa a fazer? O Estado pode nos impedir de contratar? Contratos ineficientes devem ser cumpridos? Que fazer diante do silêncio do contrato? Em um texto que combina história e filosofia com um amplo repertório dogmático, Osny da Silva Filho mostra que o moderno direito dos contratos é produto do pensamento dos juristas, e não o contrário. De modo ao mesmo tempo didático e rigoroso, seu livro evidencia que só podemos avançar de maneira consistente sobre questões doutrinárias, teóricas e empíricas se compreendermos os fundamentos do direito contratual.
