RODRIGO'S ABSTRACTION: CAPITALISM, INEQUALITY, AND REFORM OVER TIME AND SPACE |
50 Wake Forest Law Review 187 (Spring 2015) |
Recently, Professor Richard Delgado observed that law and capitalism define each other, as mirror images. Indeed, Professor Delgado suggests that law and capitalism are the same thing and that therefore law is not a promising path to reform capitalism. This conclusion enjoys some support from economists who now warn that the United States faces... |
