Great book !

Too often it seems that law is limited to the "good old boys" network that largely is content to go to law school, graduate, speak only to lawyers and clients and die. Outside fields are rarely considered. "Who cares if a policy is economically inefficient?" "Why should that frustrate 'democracy'".Posner is the first I know of among solid legal scholars to explore the connections between law and related disciplines.

I can only hope that some will take his ideas and make them more digestible for a public audience.
