Economic Justice : Race, Gender, Identity and Economics Hardback
by Emma Jordan, Angela Harris
Part of the University Casebook Series series
Hardback
Description
This casebook provides a means to further the conversation between critical legal scholarship and law and economics.
It addresses such issues as what economics can tell us about democracy and the law, what theories of justice can tell us about economic theory and the law, and why no legal language addressing class in the United States exists, and what such a language might look like.
It uses the problem of racial and gender injustice as a basis to interrogate both critical theory and economic theory.
The Second Edition provides a timely new chapter on the financial collapse, the turmoil in modern macroeconomic theory, and the economic justice claims of borrowers who received predatory loans. The coverage expands to include the following:Origins of the Subprime Mortgage Crisis The Racial Wealth Gap and HomeownershipIdentity and WealthGlobal Interconnectedness of Financial Institutions and The Paradox of domestic discriminationWhat Happened to Economics?
