? FairEconomy is a concept for a free and fair market economy. In response to the financial and economic crises of the past years, the authors develop fundamental ideas of how a market economy works, what rules markets need and who safeguards fairness and equal opportunity in such an economy. The book sets out the design of a sustainable market order: Going back to the very roots of doing business it offers a fascinating insight into the cultural and anthropological premises of the market economy. Fairness and free competition can be identified as key elements of successful markets, sometimes neglected in politics and business. Legal rules need to ensure that fairness and economic freedom work. The same holds true for the relationship of risk and liability that has been overlooked in the banking sector. The ideas of a FairEconomy, sketched in this book, are fit to become a reality: The authors point to institutions and mechanisms that could integrate the concept into global law. They place their trust less upon ever-larger institutions and more on private entitlement and enforcement at the global, regional, and local levels. ?

The "Law of obligations" from Fikentscher (general and special section in a volume) had already reliably accompanied many generations of law and economics students into their exams. In the 10th edition, Wolfgang Fikentscher and Andreas Heinemann together provide for the first time the revision of the work. The new edition took into consideration particularly the radical changes, which were prompted by the law of obligations reform. The didactic objective of the work still remains to offer a thematically complete and systematic description of the entire law of obligations to students. With this, the work also looks at references to commercial and economic law, which are added by comparative law points of view. With the 10th edition, the standard work on the law of obligations is again updated. It considers legislation, administration of justice and literature up to Spring 2006.
