Search in google:
The book concludes that in a global economy the burden-some regulations of foreign countries deserve attention, but increasingly so do the burdens that American adversarial legalism imposes on this country and sometimes on others. Ideas and prospects for correcting the problem are discussed throughout. Booknews Eight contributors explore the question of whether the laws regulating businesses in the United States deliver insufficient social benefits in relation their cost. They examine the question in terms of the global economy, looking at issues such as the way that social regulations can act as trade barriers and how environmental regulations hinder businesses in the intensely competitive atmosphere of the global marketplace.
