This book is based on the principle according to which the formation of the current global Grand Système was the result of cleavages that, in their critical, enmeshed moments, always offered a rel-atively wide variety of alternatives. These alternatives have, however, been systematically obliterated by reductive thought that tends to simplify reality. In other words it looks at immediate feasibility in the management of the social system while rejecting countless possibilities and variables by suppress-ing community and society issues that are richer in the different cultures. This simplification has also been occurring in the theoretic field." ; FCT

Vicarious liability in the franchising context is a fundamental issue, both in the United States and foreign jurisdictions. With no all-encompassing, clear precedent in the United States, other nations' approaches may provide lessons for American lawmakers and the U.S. franchising community. Together, the division between jurisdictions and the absence of uniform standards for imposing vicarious liability on franchisors demonstrate the need for more comprehensible and predictable case law. This need can be met through an examination of European regulations, model laws, and guidelines, as well as the laws in a number of nations worldwide, which indicate a pathway to better franchise agreements and possible governmental mandates (e.g., prominent, required notices about a franchise's business ownership). Franchisors would have in hand the means to determine their risks and plan their behavior, even accounting for the more effective approaches to franchisor vicarious liability that are sometimes found elsewhere in the global franchising community.
