Litigation Plus Regulation: The Protection of Investor Rights in Late-Medieval Venice

Chapter Chapter 5 in Origins of Shareholder Advocacy, 2011, pp 101-122 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract There is a consensus among economists, historians, and lawyers that the protection of property rights and the enforcement of contracts are among the proper functions of government. The intricacy of this consensus is that it does not tell us exactly how the state can design a functional legal system and what it takes it to effectively secure property and contract rights. In other words, this consensus tells us nothing about the desirable extent of government intervention (Glaeser and Shleifer 2002: Rodrik 2008).
