Public Law: The Rules of the Game
Abstract
Outlines the four primary public policy objectives underlying the U.S. laws regulating business in the early 21st century: to promote economic growth; to protect workers; to promote consumer welfare, and to promote public welfare. Other major economic powers tend to have laws that promote these same objectives, albeit with varying degrees of emphasis on the different objectives and varying ways of promoting them.
