      abstract = {In this insightful book, Patrick McNutt explores the  meaning of law within a political environment, and advances  many new ideas and concepts first addressed in his earlier  book Law, Economics and Antitrust.  The joint use of both  economic and legal reasoning is well supported by the  carefully selected examples and case studies, which clarify  the issues under review. This, together with the  application of simple game theory language to explain the  complex legal and economic concepts and to assemble the  arguments throughout each of the chapters, provides an  innovative exposition of the political economy of law. The  book discusses a range of issues from legal, economic and  ethical platforms, with a reference to intuitive argument,  the debate between ethics and law, and case precedent.  Topics explored include a discussion on the role of law and  ethics, tort liability, property rights and neo-Walrasian  antitrust. The author also covers lawlessness and criminal  intent, internet markets and intellectual property rights,  and competition, co-operation, and governance.  This  innovative work will be an invaluable resource to legal  scholars, practitioners, judiciary and postgraduate  students in law and in economics. Philosophy scholars,  economists and government policymakers interested in public  policy initiatives will also find this a useful and  informative book.},
