Abstract: "In a thoughtful yet uncomplicated style, Business Organizations reveals the structure of corporate, partnership, agency, and securities law. J. Mark Ramseyer places the law in historical context and analyzes the law’s economic effect. Overviews in each chapter and hypothetical examples illustrate the synthesis of legal, financial, and economic relationships in a way that will inform and interest readers whether their previous exposure to economics has been minimal or extensive. Comprehensive coverage embraces all of the principal cases in the leading casebooks. Clear and incisive analysis explores what motivated the parties and why the judges decided as they did." -- Wolters Kluwer
