Description

Eric Posner argues that social norms are sometimes desirable yet sometimes odious, and that the law is critical to enhancing good social norms and undermining bad ones. He argues that current understanding of social norms is inadequate for guiding judges and lawmakers, and offers a model of the relationship between law and social norms.
