  • Alain Marciano

Abstract

The purpose of this note is to stress that Posner’s conception of law and of the role of judges in a legal system might be problematic for an Austrian approach to law and economics, despite the praxeological dimension of his analysis. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012
