Zusatztext With the renewed interest in private law theory in the last decade, fiduciary obligations have emerged as an especially fertile area of study. As these obligations appear in so many areas of law - from corporate law to family law to the law of trusts - it can be it difficult to get a view of the whole. The chapters in Gold and Miller's volume provide just that. Individually, the contributions advance our understanding of fiduciary law in multiple directions. Taken together, they provide an excellent introduction to fiduciary law as a whole, to the various scholarly approaches to fiduciary obligations, and to the contemporary debates about their design, purpose and justification.
