About the book
Morton J. Horwitz offers a masterful analysis of how the American legal system was transformed in the post-Reconstruction period, evolving from an instrument of social protection into a mechanism geared toward defending business interests. The work examines cases, legislation, and legal doctrines, revealing how the law was reconfigured to serve capital accumulation.
An essential study for understanding how legal institutions shaped—and were shaped by—American economic development.
