Law for Business and Personal Use - Text

Rating:
Summary: indispensable
Review: Combined an indepth analysis of legal issues with perceptive on point illustrative examples. Very helpful for my high school class.

Rating:
Summary: Colorful but lacking in substance
Review: This book should please those who are looking for a colorful book to keep high school students interested in what many might consider a dry subject. It covers a host of topics and issues and will lead students to think. However, it is marred by its appalling ignorance of economic analysis. The worst example is in Chapter 2 where it offers up some comments on the "idea of profit maximization". Any student who has had a principles course in economics is likely to see these comments for what they are, namely the kind of rhetoric one would expect from someone manning one of the ubiquitous anti-globalization tables at a large university.
