Book SynopsisTrade Review"One of Diane Coyle's Best Economic Books of 2018"
"One of the most interesting and exhilarating books I’ve read for ages. . . . This is a beautifully written book, very profound. . . .
The Republic of Beliefs offers a distinctive and revealing perspective on public policy, and couldn’t be more timely."
---Diane Coyle, Enlightenment Economics"In this important book which is most lucidly written, Basu shows that a game-theory paradigm can lead us to ask critically important questions about what it is that might make people observe the law."
---Robert Lee, Journal of Law and Society"
An unqualified success. . . . the argument in its totality is overwhelming, and it is only to be
hoped that practitioners of the discipline of law and economics will be willing to bring
its suggestions to fruition.
"
---Mario Ferrero, Journal of Economics"The book is a message of hope that institutions and laws governing citizens are not static. It has the potential to reinvigorate the space for multidisciplinary inquiries into law and economics, and promises to develop a framework for law and economics that departs from orthodoxy."
---Sarthak Gaurav, Economic & Political Weekly"The book resolves several conundrums faced by the existing L and E discipline. . . . the book provides a rich framework that can be used by the researchers and policymakers to address the outstanding issues."
---Ram Singh, Indian Economic Review
