The Legal System, Economics, and the Promotion of Public Policy
Number of pages:
5
ABSTRACT:
This 5 page report discusses the incentives and disincentives that the American legal system provides in the
promotion of public policy What is often forgotten in the frustration of dealing with America's legal system is the very simple fact that, convoluted though it may often seem,
it still provides the framework for the protection of individual rights and freedoms. An economics viewpoint can be used to analyze public sector decision making because
decisions are made within a framework of incentives and constraints that are a product of individual preferences and institutional structure. Those various incentives and
constraints are, in turn, defined by the law. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
