Description:
Economic Justice: Race, Gender, Identity and Economics is a new casebook, offered as a means to further the conversation between critical legal scholarship and law and economics. The phrase “economic justice” signals the authors’ aim to engage these two cultures, and to find the answer to questions, such as:
• What can economics tell us about democracy and the law?
• What can theories of justice tell us about economic theory and the law?
• Why is there no legal language of “class” in the United States, and what might one look like?
Economic Justice: Race, Gender, Identity and Economics also uses the problem of racial and gender injustice as a site to interrogate both critical theory and economic theory. Just as race, gender, and class seem inextricably intertwined, economic and critical analysis both seem crucial to unraveling the knot of racial and gender inequality.
