This book offers a multidisciplinary account of the 'rule of law' as a central pillar of the classical liberal tradition. The authors analyze the original meaning of this expression as first introduced by British jurist A. V. Dicey, before examining its subsequent elaboration by Leoni, Fuller, Hayek and Oakeshott. Addressing the main philosophical and legal aspects of the rule of law, this volume will appeal to all those engaged in law, political theory, philosophy, economics, business ethics, and public policy.

Louisiana Law of Sale and Lease is a concise yet thorough casebook for students of Louisiana's Civil law whose authors have taught the subject for many years. By using a direct and straightforward approach, it will help students understand the articles of the Civil Code that govern sale and lease and the judicial decisions that interpret and apply them. The book includes classic cases, newer cases applying the recent revisions of the law, as well as questions and comments that guide the student to an understanding of the Civil Code articles on sale and lease and their place within the law of contract as a whole.

Grounded in history and written by a law professor, this book is a scholarly yet jargon-free explanation of the differences among the common and civil law concepts of the rule of law, and details how they developed out of two different cultural views of the relationships between law, individuals, and government. The book shows how those differences lead to differences in economic development, entrepreneurship, and corporate governance. The author considers the relationship among the ROL and economic development, the legal and economic differences between shareholder and stakeholder theory, and also offers insights into how to promote effective and sustainable change in law and business. Students and scholars of international business law, corporate governance, economics, and political economy will gain a general understanding of the topic in a way not previously presented.
