Law and Economic Order - by Peter Gibson Friesen (Paperback)

About the Book

This book is essential reading for leaders in ethical societies, who are navigating the treacherous waters of an international legal and economic order whose complexity may well exceed human cognitive limits to manage humanely. Friesen has given us a compass that may well save us from disaster.-Christophe Lambert, PhD, Chairman, Golden Helix Inc.

Book Synopsis

In Law and Economic Order Friesen gives us a provocative series of insights by deconstructing

the tension between 'maintaining order' and 'competition'. Requisite Economy helps to

deeply understand what is emerging in society by embracing a true holistic perspective. This

is a rich and compelling call-to-rethink for anyone looking for new ways to deal with societal

challenges. I strongly recommend reading it.

Law and Economic Order is an enormously challenging and important book to read: both

brilliant and opaque, traversing abstruse byways that only a handful of people in the world

can follow, and in single sentences laying bare hidden structures governing the evolution

of law and economies that I will contemplate for years. This book is essential reading for

leaders in ethical societies, who are navigating the treacherous waters of an international legal

and economic order whose complexity may well exceed human cognitive limits to manage

humanely. Friesen has given us a compass that may well save us from disaster.

Friesen's Law and Economic Order has put me to an intense but rewarding work of interpretation...

I hope that reading Law and Economic Order may resonate with the reader's

own experiences in the way he or she deliberates over the Common Good (implicit or explicit

in his or her social network) and its values. I cannot leave out applying the rich principles

developed by Friesen in this work.
