Professor Georgakopoulos explores an unusually broad range of topics for an introductory text, extending from moral philosophy to financial economics, and from corporate law to an exegesis on empirical methods, complete with helpful tips on the use of Microsoft Excel.  Principles and Methods is ideal as a student-friendly text for a course on law and economics.  The exposition is lucid, and there are numerous useful illustrations and exercises.  Equally to the point, however, Principles and Methods is a valuable reference for advanced students, practitioners, and legal scholars who are unfamiliar with the full range of topics that fall within law and economics.  Veteran teachers in the field will find imaginative discussion of familiar topics such as the Coase Theorem.  But even seasoned academics will find discussion of less well-known topics in the literature that, but for this book, they might never have explored at all.  This is a book that will have broad appeal, and deservedly so.\"  \u003cbr\u003eReinier Kraakman, Harvard law School\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThis is an introductory book that targets the reader who has the ambition to apply economic analysis but may be missing a technical introduction to its mathematical techniques or seeks a structured elaboration of its philosophical principles. The book juxtaposes economic analysis with moral philosophy, political theory, egalitarianism, and other methodological principles and then passes to the details of methods such as model-building, derivatives, differential equations, statistical tests, and the use of computer programs.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: innovation in legal thinking\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
