Synthesis of “Economic Transplants: On Lawmaking for Corporations and Capital Markets”
-
Katja Langenbucher
Abstract
Buzzwords such as “economization”,[1] “economic imperialism”[2] or “the economist’s hour”[3] denote the fact that during the last century “economics has become the science of making social choices”.[4] In “economic transplants”,[5] I explore how this has happened in European corporate and financial markets law. The book’s focus is on legal reasoning, involving both a hypothesis about where economics’ tempting allure may come from, and an argument on why the underlying disciplinary approaches of law and of economics often don’t necessarily match.
