Review Quotes

"The text is a welcome addition to the law and economics field, bringing economic rigour to the analysis of a range of topics in the field. What differentiates this text is the clear focus on the market and market structure. While useful for instructors, for the intended audience it is likely to be but one resource in an undergraduate or postgraduate law and economics class." (Stephen Whelan, Economic Record, Vol. 92 (296), March, 2016)
