As such, law can be explained without incorporating a person’s motivations or any other psychological motivations. This means that the theory does not take into account the rationality of human beings and also the goals and ...

Of course, throughout much of the early history of modern economics, the existence of private property rights was a presumption that underlay the work of leading economic thinkers. It is no wonder ...
