The essays in this collection critically examine the principal themes and issues shaping contemporary writing on corporate law, and the law and economics of the firm. These include: contractarian theory; the institutional shareholder movement; path-dependent institutional evolution; comparative corporate governance; and team production. In particular, the essays demonstrate how American corporate legal theory embraces and then abandons a market efficiency account of corporate governance, turning outwards and searching worldwide for more effective legal and organizational strategies.

Contents:
Part 1 Contractarian theory: the corporate contract, Frank H. Easterbrook and Daniel R. Fischel; the economic structure of the post-contractual corporation, William W. Bratton.
Part 2 Institutional shareholders: institutional investing - will it happen, will it work? Jill E. Fisch.
Part 3 Path dependencies: path dependence in corporate contracting - increasing returns, herd behaviour and cognitive biases, Marcel Kahan and Michael Klausner; chaos and evolution in law and economics, Mark J. Roe.
Part 4 Comparative corporate governance: some differences in corporate structure in Germany, Japan, and the United States, Mark J. Roe; America's shifting fascination with comparative corporate governance, Edward B. Rock; a survey of corporate governance, Andrei Shleifer and Robert W. Vishny.
Part 5 Team production: a contractarian defence of corporate philanthropy, Margaret M. Blair; trust and team production in post-capitalist society, Lawrence E. Mitchell.
