The subject matter of economics has evolved slowly over many years. This volume is designed to show its growth from the beginnings of western civilization to the present. Special attention is given to the economic, political, and social settings in which the doctrines developed. Hence one may observe how practices affected economicthought and, in turn, how theories influenced economic policies and practices. A careful study of the evolutionary growth of economic doctrines may afford some pride in the science of economics but, more importantly, it will strengthen an understanding of the use of prevailing doctrines. This volumebrings together the most significant scholars and schools whose influence has left permanent imprint on the body of economic doctrines. Attention has been given to less well-known authors and their contributions as well as to the better-known names and their contributions. A consistent attempt has been made to show the prevailing influences when dealing with the early as well as with the more recent developments in economic thought. An effort has been made, also, to include all of the pertinent economic concepts and to show both their meaning and the manner in which they were used. This broad coverage begins with early capitalism and ends with modern mathematical analysis. Familiar concepts of micro- and macro-economics, all shades of price, income, and distribution theories, international trade, socioeconomic movements, and many other theories and doctrines are fitted into their proper places. Hopefully, sufficient information has been presented to provide a comprehensive view of the development of economic doctrines.

French Constitutional Law

This work provides the first systematic presentation in English of judicial review of legislation in contemporary France. Bell begins with an introduction of the Conseil Constitutionnel--created in 1958 by the Fifth Republic--which has had an increasingly important place in French legal and political life, especially since 1981. He also examines the principles it has developed on the allocation of law-making powers between Parliament and the Government, parliamentary procedure, fundamental freedoms, and equality. Supplemented with a collection of key materials translated into English, including constitutional texts and leading decisions, French Constitutional Law will interest students and scholars of constitutional law and European politics.

Principles of French Law offers a comprehensive introduction to French law and the French legal system in terms which a common lawyer can understand. The authors give an explanation of the institutions, rules and techniques that characterize the major branches of French law. The chapters provide the reader with a clear sense of the questions that French lawyers see as important and how they would answer them. In the ten years since the publication of the first edition, French law has changed in significant ways. European Union law and the European Convention on Human Rights have had a significant impact especially on procedural law and family law. There has been a new Commercial Code, major legislation on divorce, succession and criminal law, as well as significant developments in the Constitution. In addition, there have been very considerable developments in the case-law and a much discussed proposal for reform of major areas of the law of obligations. The chapters present not only the rules of law, but, where appropriate, the principles and values underlying the system. Considerable use is made of juristic literature and of examples from French case law. The book is designed for students studying French law at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, and as preliminary reading for students about to study in France. It will also serve as an initial point of reference for scholars embarking on a study of French law.
