Informations Uncivilization: The Imperative for a New Approach to Law and Economics

I address many themes constituting difficult terrains and am fully aware of problems of stricttime limits and temptation to evils of obfuscation and bouts of ostentatious learning that besetscholarly addresses.

As Cass Sunstein has recently observed: “the field of law and economics has revolutionized legal thinking. It may well be counted as the most influential intellectual development in law in the last one hundred years. It has also had a major impact on how regulators in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere deal with anti-trust, environmental protection, highway safety, health care, nuclear power, and workers’ rights.”2 But as Kaushik Basu adds: “It is easy to go on and draw attention to the power of law and economics in many other areas, from shaping regulation relating to finance and banking, to fiscal policy and laws to regulate the fiscal deficit. It is clearly a subject that deserves attention”.
