Book Description:

Examines how American law purports to reflect - and actively promotes - a laissez-faire capitalism that disproportionately benefits the entrepreneurial class. This title proposes that the quality of American life depends also on fairness and equality rather than simply the single-minded and formulaic pursuit of efficiency and utility.
