| | 1. |  | How Judges Think
from Harvard University Press
Price: $19.77
Customer Review:
I would agree with many of the reviewers that this is Posner at his finest. Although I tend to be skeptical of his articulation of pragmatism (especially via his selective use of economic theory), I found that this book really destroys the false binary that posits a clear split between activist and... more info

| | 3. |  | Economic Analysis of Law
from Wolters Kluwer Law & Business
Price: $107.20
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

| | 5. |  | Antitrust Law, Second Edition
from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $34.00
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

| | 7. |  | The Little Book of Plagiarism
from Pantheon
Price: $8.76
Customer Review:
This is my first time reading Posner, who is very prolific, and I was very pleased. He is able to be very analytic while still remaining very readable (I read the book in probably two hours). He uses a lot of examples both current and from history (Shakespeare etc.) to examine the subject of... more info

| | 8. |  | Cardozo: A Study in Reputation
from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $14.40
Customer Review:
If I recall his New Yorker profile accurately, Posner gets up at 4 a.m. every morning to maintain his extraordinary and excellent output as a public intellectual and judge of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. At 145 pages, this volume is perhaps Posner's shortest and--both because it is aimed at a... more info

| | 9. |  | Law, Pragmatism, and Democracy
from Harvard University Press
Price: $18.90
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

| | 10. |  | Catastrophe: Risk and Response
from Oxford University Press, USA
Customer Review:
This is a very interesting book but it didn't quite grab me. It is a very academic book, almost like a text book. This book would make a better lecture. Most of his meat in the book comes from economic cost benefit analysis. That information probably comes across better in a lecture.
First the... more info
