In the aftermath of the Chicago boys and the triumph of neo-liberal economics, we are finally witnessing innovative legal responses that, as this book systematically shows, amounts to a reinvention of law and legal practices in numerous societies around the globe. Bryant Garth, American Bar Foundation, USA This is truly excellent...All essays are clearly expressed, challenging and thoroughly researched...A superb outcome would be to see some of these essays on student reading lists...
