Taking a deep dive into one example  the concept of embeddedness  this book combines insights from law, sociology, economics, and psychology to show that while we use metaphor to talk about law and economy, our metaphors in turn use us, moulding us into their fictionalized caricatures of \u003ci\u003ehomo juridicus \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003ehomo economicus\u003c\/i\u003e. The result is a groundbreaking study into the prioritization throughout society of interests and voices that align with doctrinal understandings of law and neoclassical understandings of economics: approaches that led us into the dilemmas currently facing society.
