Description

Modern Contract Law Melvin A. Eisenberg ISBN 9781685611903

Modern Contract Law serves both as a concise treatise on contract law for students and as an analytical account of the evolution of contract doctrine from its classical foundations to its modern form. The book explains how the classical contract law that dominated from the mid-nineteenth through the mid-twentieth century has, in large measure, given way to a more flexible and policy-oriented modern approach.

As a short treatise, Modern Contract Law clearly states the governing rules of contract law, explains their operation, and examines the rationales that justify them, all with the goal of deepening students’ understanding. As a historical and doctrinal study, the book also presents the core principles of classical contract law, both to provide essential context for modern doctrine and to highlight those classical rules that continue to influence contract law today.

By situating contemporary contract principles within their historical framework, Modern Contract Law offers readers a clear, coherent understanding of how contract law has developed and why it operates as it does in its modern form.
