The use of economics to study law was pioneered by the Austrian School of Economics. The nineteenth century founders of the school believed that economics could contribute to understanding the spontaneous development of common law as well as the nature of legal rights. For this insightful research review Mario Rizzo has selected key papers from today's vibrant Austrian School, focusing on the study of property, market-chosen law, slippery-slope analysis, entrepreneurship, institutions, decentralized social knowledge, and the evolution of legal institutions. This title represents the cutting-edge Austrian contributions to economics and will be an essential reference source for both students and researchers

"With its ambiguous mix of weak federalist and strong centralist elements, the Austrian constitutional architecture has been subject to conflicting interpretations and claims from its very beginning. The written 1920 constitution has been paralleled by informal rules and forces making up for the imbalance of power between national and subnational authorities. Understanding these inherent weaknesses,
virtually all political actors involved are well aware that reforming the allocation of rights and duties between the different levels in the federal state is urgently needed. In recent years, several initiatives of recalibrating the system of power-sharing between the different levels of government have been initiated. So far progress has been modest, yet the reform process is still underway.
The contributions to this volume shine a light on history, presence, and future aspects of the Austrian federal system from historical, juridical, economic, and political science perspective. The volume is also the first book in English ever devoted to the Austrian version of federalism." - "Die österreichische Verfassung war mit ihrer Mischung aus schwachem Föderalismus und starken zentralistischen Elementen von Anbeginn an Grund für widersprüchliche Interpretationen. Das im Jahr 1920 geschaffene Bundes-Verfassungsgesetz wurde deshalb immer wieder vor allem hinsichtlich der Regelungen über den Bundesstaat und die Verteilung der Aufgaben zwischen Bund und Ländern reformiert. VertreterInnen aller Parlamentsparteien sind sich heute einig darüber, dass eine neuerliche Verfassungsreform erforderlich ist und in den letzten Jahren wurden dementsprechend viele Diskussionen darüber geführt. Ihr Fortschritt ist bislang bescheiden, aber die Reform ist noch lange nicht abgeschlossen. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes werfen aus historischer, juristischer, wirtschaftlicher und politischer Perspektive Licht auf Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft des österreichischen Föderalismus – das erste Mal, dass ein englischsprachiges Buch sich mit diesem Thema auseinander setzt.
