Editorial Reviews

Review

'The book's claim to be the first comprehensive survey of United Kindom company law from an economic perspective cannot be questioned. It is a monumental work of research and writing which explains the workings of economic analysis with a depth and clarity which non-economists will welcome...Cheffins has presented a complex analysis of inner workings of companies and the part which company law can or should play in their regulation...Cheffin's works look set to prove very influential'

'a book which deals primarily with the law as practised in the United Kingdom is..to be welcomed..This book is to be commended for making available in clear and lucid langauge a wealth of source material that merits investigation and should readily find a place in any personal or office library.'

"...stimulating for those who wish, if only occasionally, to ask themselves the question why we have company law, what lawyers working in this field can achieve and where we might bring about improvements." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
