About This Book
This is a study of industrial organization, viewed in the light of moral and legal evolution. This book explores a number of themes in the sociology of law, including: the relevance of legal theory to private non-state institutions, the nature of legality and its social foundations, incipient and inchoate law, legal cognition, and the relation between law and politics. These general topics are explored in regard to the extension of the rule of law to modern industrial employment.
Philip Selznick was professor of sociology and law at the University of California, Berkeley.
