Calculating Promises The Emergence of Modern American Contract Doctrine

"Calculating Promises examines matters so important that one wonders why Kreitner is the first to explore them. Kreitner's extensive research shows how much more the doctrine of consideration did than set limits to the enforcement of promises. His analysis of the permissible scope of risk allocation in earlier contract law is rich and highly significant."James Gordley, University of California, Berkeley "This is an ambitious book characterized by a number of sparkling flashes of insight into the ideological relationships between market ordering and modern contract law."John Fabian Witt, Columbia UniversityKreitner, Roy is the author of 'Calculating Promises The Emergence of Modern American Contract Doctrine', published 2006 under ISBN 9780804753982 and ISBN 0804753989.
