Selecting an appropriate
balance in the law between autonomy and paternalism is an important and
difficult task, requiring a careful consideration of moral, political and
economic values.
This collection deals with the
task at both general and specific levels, locating itself within the broader
context of the relationship between law and market forces. Concepts are defined
and analysed, in particular the distinction between the coercive approach of 'hard
paternalism' in the law, and the 'nudge' approach of 'soft paternalism'.
Attention is then focused on how the tensions between the concepts are resolved
in the law of contract, where deficient information and mistakes can justify an
interventionist approach. Besides overviews of the issues within the general law
of contract, and historical studies of the relevant principles in the common law
and Roman law, the book also includes studies of specific areas, notably
insurance contracts and consumer bankruptcy.
The authors, from North
America, the United Kingdom and continental Europe, include economists,
sociologists and traditional legal scholars.
