Trade Review‘. . . the articles contained in this book provide an excellent understanding as to how the law developed to where it is today, not only in the United States, but also in the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions. This is therefore a book for those who have a very serious interest in this subject and who wish to develop an understanding of the thinking which has led to the current position. This means it is probably more likely to be of interest to academic lawyers rather than practising lawyers. However, it would be a great pity if it doesn’t reach a wider audience as each chapter is truly excellent.’Table of ContentsContents: Acknowledgements Introduction Stephen M.
