Enterprise and American Law, 1836-1937

Meer over het boek

The book explores the interplay between legal and economic theories in shaping American business regulations from Andrew Jackson's era through the first New Deal. It highlights how classical economic ideas about free markets influenced the development of private and public law, ultimately impacting the structure of modern business corporations and the concept of substantive due process. Hovenkamp provides a detailed analysis of this dynamic relationship during a period of significant growth in the U.S. economy.
