In Law Economics and Conflict Kaushik Basu and Robert C. Hockett bring together international experts to offer new perspectives on how to take analytic tools from the realm of academic research out into the real world to address pressing policy questions. As the essays discuss political polarization regional conflicts climate change and the dramatic technological breakthroughs of the digital age have all left the standard tools of regulation floundering in the twenty-first century. These failures have in turn precipitated significant questions about the fundamentals of law and economics. The contributors address law and economics in diverse settings and situations including central banking and the use of capital controls fighting corruption in China rural credit markets in India pawnshops in the United States the limitations of antitrust law and the role of international monetary regimes. Collectively the essays in Law Economics and Conflict rethink how the insights of law and economics can inform policies that provide individuals with the space and means to work innovate and prosper–while guiding states and international organization to regulate in ways that limit conflict reduce national and global inequality and ensure fairness.
