The Origins of Company LawMethods and Approaches\nAuthor(s): Victoria Barnes, Jonathan Hardman\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, United Kingdom\nImprint: Hart Publishing\nISBN-13: 9781509964482, 978-1509964482\nSynopsis\nThis book provides histories of company law, uniting a variety of approaches from law, business and management, economics, and history.\n\nWhat were the origins of company law? How did it begin? Why did it change? There is no single answer to these questions. Each discipline, and sub-discipline, has a different approach and method that brings different facets of study to the fore. This multidisciplinary endeavour is immensely valuable for debates taking place now among policy-makers in the UK and US about returning to historic modes of company regulation.\n\nThe book brings together Anglo-American scholarship that will not only shed greater light on the history of company law but also influence contemporary debates about our ability to return .
