Law's order Book

In this book the author applies the economic way of thinking to the law. He argues, and I think correctly, that economic analysis can be used to explain the law and suggest what the law should be. Assuming individuals are rational and that the economically efficient outcome (this can be defined a different ways, but I like to think of it as the outcome with the most benefit and the least cost) is likely the best outcome, the author uses examples to show how the economic analysis of law expands our knowledge and can help us make better decisions about what the law should be. It was a good book. However, it was slow in parts.
