‘Contract Law and Economics is an excellent collection of surveys in the field. The book will be of interest to those who are experts as the chapters present unique insights into recent contributions. At the same time, the surveys are very accessible to those who want an introduction to the important results in the economic analysis of contract law. I strongly recommend this book.'
