American law in the age of hypercapitalism

the worker, the family, and the state

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.
