Law and Economics in Private Laws of China

This book bridges the gap between legal and economic principles in Common Law jurisdictions and China's distinctive legal environment, with a particular focus on private law issues.

The chapters outline the fundamental legal framework of Chinese private law, covering topics such as property, marriage, tort, consumer, labour, and company law. By comparing these areas with their counterparts in Common Law jurisdictions, the book highlights the unique features of Chinese law, shaped by historical, cultural, and environmental factors. It also provides analysis and discussion of practical cases, offering a blueprint for applying economic principles to China's legal context. Furthermore, the book enhances understanding of the Chinese legal system, economic methodologies, and Chinese history.

This work will appeal to scholars and students of law, economics, and Chinese studies.
