Economic Justice: Race, Gender, Identity and Economics (University Casebook Series)

This casebook provides a means to further the conversation between critical legal scholarship and law and economics. It addresses what economics can tell us about democracy and the law, what theories of justice can tell us about economic theory and the law, why no legal language addressing class in the United States exists and what such a language might look like, and more. It uses the problem of racial and gender injustice as a basis to interrogate both critical theory and economic theory. The second edition provides a timely new chapter on the financial collapse and more.
