1.		Uncommon Sense: Economic Insights, from Marriage to Terrorism from University Of Chicago Press Price: $18.18 Customer Review: This is a very interesting book, as I will try to illustrate. The authors are Gary Becker, a Nobel-prize winning economist, well-known author (including a widely-read monthly Business Week article at one time) and professor at the University of Chicago; and Richard Posner, a legal scholar, federal... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		A Failure of Capitalism: The Crisis of '08 and the Descent into Depression from Harvard University Press Price: $9.00 Customer Review: Fantastic and a classic book.

3.		How Judges Think from Harvard University Press Price: $18.78 Customer Review: If you have been inside the world Judge Posner writes about, you will know how extraordinarily practical this book is. This is how judges think - not how they think they think. Legal decisions arise in real contexts and judges almost always react in part to that context. If they did not, then our... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		Not a Suicide Pact: The Constitution in a Time of National Emergency (Inalienable Rights) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $0.12 Customer Review: To couch this review and Posner's argument, I paste a quote from Posner himself found the in The New Republic. "If torture is the only means of obtaining the information necessary to prevent the detonation of a nuclear bomb in Times Square, torture should be used--and will be used--to obtain the... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		The Little Book of Plagiarism from Pantheon Price: $3.94 Customer Review: Best-selling novelists and historians have been accused of plagiarism. It's regularly committed by celebrities, though mostly by students. Judge Posner's detailed review of the topic makes readers quickly realize that there is much more to this topic than probably first meets the eye. Judicial... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		Economic Analysis of Law from Aspen Publishers Price: $104.75 Customer Review: First of all, the law and economics movement did not originate with Richard Posner. To his credit, he does reference the men who collectively formulated the modern utilitarian theory called "law and economics." Pay attention to the enormous amount of spelling errors and poor syntax in the first... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		Antitrust Law, Second Edition from University Of Chicago Press Price: $31.09 Customer Review: If I had to suggest the purchase of this book I would recommend it. There is almost everything in the book about US antitrust. But some warnings are necessary. It's not for students. It's not for lawyers. Maybe scholars and judges can be interested. The author highlights what is not coherent in the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		The Economic Structure of Intellectual Property Law from Belknap Press of Harvard University Press Price: $46.33 Customer Review: Probably the best starting point for understanding the positive and negative economic effects of intellectual property protection. The book is a fairly easy read assuming an academic exposure to economics 101 and a working knowledge of IP law. I read it in two days over thanksgiving vacation as part... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		Law, Pragmatism, and Democracy from Harvard University Press Price: $19.13 Customer Review: Lawyers maneuver by mastering both legal formalism and responsible pragmatic analysis. Richard A. Posner uses BUSH v. GORE as an example of pragmatic adjudication. The Court's action headed off a crisis of presidential succession. Reasonableness, best consequences may be used as a standard to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		Law and Literature: Third Edition from Harvard University Press Price: $21.06 Customer Review: Posner is not a dumb man, but early in this book he notes that the law and literature movement is so popular because it is a cheap way to hide shoddy scholarship. He certainly proves his point here. My hopes in this book were dashed early on by his "critical introduction," where he relates that... more info	Customer Rating: 1.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
