Subtitle: the worker, the family, and the state
First published: 1998
Description: In American Law in the Age of Hypercapitalism, Ruth Colker examines how American law purports to reflect - and actively promotes - a laissez-faire capitalism that disproportionately benefits the entrepreneurial class. Colker proposes that the quality of American life depends also on fairness and equality rather than simply the single-minded and formulaic pursuit of efficiency and utility.
