Critical Acclaim
‘. . . this book is a wonderful reference tool for anyone who is interested in obtaining a broad overview of copyright law and how it interacts with economics.’
– Alicia Brillon, American Reference Books Annual 2012
‘Christopher Yoo has pulled together much of the best academic work detailing the history of copyright, as well as the instrumentalist and deontic theories that have been offered to justify modern copyright law. This is a valuable contribution to the copyright literature.’
