The aim of this volume is to work out an evo-lutionary and behavioral theory of value. To do so thoroughly, Commons examines the decisions of the courts. Doing so compelled an exami-nation of what the courts mean by reasonable value. This edition is graced with a special introduction that places Commons in proper academic as well as intellectual context.
