Offer and acceptance. 001483500 520__ $$aContract law allows parties to set their own rules within constraints. It provides a set of default rules and if the parties do not like them, they can change them. Rethinking Contract Law and Contract Design explores various long-standing contract doctrines, casting them in a new and compelling light by focusing on the economics of contractual relations. Building upon and extending the arguments set forth in his acclaimed book Framing Contract Law, Goldberg revisits many of the seminal contract cases and places those decisions under close scrutiny, challenging readers, by means of forensic exploration of records, briefs, and other materials, to reconsider their conclusions. Split into four parts, the author examines direct damages, consequential damages, the excuses doctrines (including impossibility, impracticability and frustration), and offer and acceptance. Asking the questions that often go unasked, and challenging the assumptions silently accepted by the majority, one of Goldberg's many insightful observations, and an underlying thread to the book, is that achieving an economic understanding of contract design will illuminate both contract doctrine and contract interpretation. Written with clarity and poise, Rethinking Contract Law and Contract Design is set to ignite plenty of debate amongst contract scholars and contract drafters, and provides the anvil upon which future generations of contract thinking can be forged. Contract scholars and students interested in exploring new perspectives on the topic will find this to be an essential read, as will contract lawyers and judges. 001483500 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from title screen (viewed February 13, 2015). 001483500 650_0 $$aContracts.$$0sh 85031620 $$0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85031620 001483500 650_0 $$aContracts$$xEconomic aspects.$$0sh2009121751$$0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009121751 001483500 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001483500 7102_ $$aEdward Elgar Publishing.$$0n 2003099418$$0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2003099418$$1http://viaf.org/viaf/142375078$$1http://isni.org/isni/0000000107025794 001483500 7761_ $$z9781783471539 (hardback) 001483500 830_0 $$aRethinking law.$$0no2015063671$$0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2015063671$$1http://viaf.org/viaf/315995047 001483500 85640 $$uhttps://prx.law.columbia.edu/login?url=https://www.elgaronline.com/view/9781783471539.xml$$zEdward Elgar 001483500 913__ $$ahttps://www.law.columbia.edu/library/electronic-resource-use-policy$$bSubject to Electronic Resource Use Policy 001483500 922__ $$aRDA ENRICHED 001483500 922__ $$aMARS 001483500 923__ $$aElectronic resource. 001483500 925__ $$aK840$$b.G65 2015 001483500 980__ $$aBIB 001483500 998__ $$b2022-06-28
