Book Reviews of Law and Economics in a Nutshell (Nutshell Series)

Book Review: Perfect for Review Time!
Summary: 4 Stars

This book was on my Suggested Reading list for law school so I picked it up. Now that I've read the book, I must say that this is NOT a good book to read over the summer before classes start. It is much more useful as a review. It is way too succinct to be a very valuable tool for learning Law and Economics. This book will really come in handy for finals week though!

Summary of Law and Economics in a Nutshell (Nutshell Series)

Expert coverage of the classic issues, including basic price theory; definitions of efficiency; the Coase Theorem; and the economics of contract law, tort law, regulation, and antitrust. Text also discusses less conventional topics such as public choice, what it means to be a rational maximizer of self-interest, the assumptions underlying economic analysis to law, limitations on the application of economic theory to law, the theory of second best, and the prisoner's dilemma.
