Abstract: Abstract This chapter serves as an introduction to the book and begins by describing specific court decisions pertaining to legal and economic thinking. We first introduce two cases in which economics and law may be seen as being in opposition. These cases illustrate the diametric opposition of economics and law in terms of their recognition and appraisal of the free market’s purposes. Then, we consider why these differences arise and discuss the points on which the two fields differ and the points that they have in common. We compare the pursuit of value, political views and methodologies of economics and law. Finally, we briefly describe the contents of this book.
