buying professors

[Max Sawicky]

Not proven, Ian.  There are progressive professors of law, who touch on
economic issues, but the people you mentioned are outside of the law and
economics school, which emphasizes the application of economic theory as a
basis for the law.

If you want to define "law and economics" as the
application of reactionary economic theory to legal
issues, then you are likely to conclude L&E has no
progressive voices.  But why allow the creeps to
define the boundaries of the discipline?

In fact law profs write in depth about economic
issues.  This is certainly true in the tax field.
They can be liberal, conservative, or radical.
I don't see why they should not be considered
to be doing "law and economics," not unlike the
attorneys on this list.
