TAILIEUCHUNG - Industrializing English Law

Legal stasis in the face of rapid economic change poses serious challenges to deterministic and functional interpretations in the theory of law, institutions, and economic performance. This book explores a particu- larly important example: the slow and contradictory development in the law of business organization in England during the critical phase of the Industrial Revolution. Based on extensive primary source research, Ron Harris shows how the institutional development of major forms of busi- ness organization – the business corporation, the partnership, the trust, the unincorporated company – evolved during this period. He also dem- onstrates how this slow and peculiar path of legal change interacted with and affected the practice. | INDUSTRIALIZING ENGLISH LAW Entrepreneurship and Business Organization 1720-1844 RON HARRIS Political Economy of Institutions and Decisions CAMBRIDGE more information - 0521662753 This page intentionally left blank Industrializing English Law Legal stasis in the face of rapid economic change poses serious challenges to deterministic and functional interpretations in the theory of law institutions and economic performance.
