The Future of Law and Economics Part 5: A Reply From Henry Manne
I’ve had a wonderful time writing this series on the future of law and economics. When I started the series (Part I, Part II, Part III, and Part IV), I thought it would be a fun thought experiment for me to think through aloud and hopefully start a valuable conversation.

Josh’s latest post (Part III) suggests there ... The Future of Law and Economics: Does Behavioralism Offer Hope for the Non-Technical?

Score One for Obama
I’ve been waiting for my old con law prof to take a political stand I could really get behind, and he finally has. Barack Obama is the only one of the presidential candidates to take a firm stand against this shamefully populist gas tax holiday. Good for you, Prof! Now, I’m not normally a big ...
