The Collected Works of Henry G. Manne

Klappentext As the founder of the Center for Law and Economics at George Mason University and dean emeritus of the George Mason School of Law, Henry G. Manne is one of the founding scholars of law and economics as a discipline. This three-volume collection includes articles, reviews, and books from more than four decades, featuring Wall Street in Transition, which redefined the commonly held view of the corporate firm. Volume 1, The Economics of Corporations and Corporate Law, includes Manne's seminal writings on corporate law and his landmark blend of economics and law that is today accepted as a standard discipline, showing how Manne developed a comprehensive theory of the modern corporation that has provided a framework for legal, economic, and financial analysis of the corporate firm. Volume 2, Insider Trading, uses Manne's ground-breaking Insider Trading and the Stock Market as a framework for many of Manne's innovative contributions to the field, as well as a fresh context for understanding the complex world of corporate law and securities regulation. Volume 3, Liberty and Freedom in the Economic Ordering of Society, includes selections exploring Manne's thoughts on corporate social responsibility, on the regulation of capital markets and securities offerings, especially as examined in Wall Street in Transition, on the role of the modern university, and on the relationship among law, regulation, and the free market.
