HauptbeschreibungGemn einer landlnufigen Vorstellung lnsst sich eine Marktwirtschaft nur ertragen, wenn sie durch einen rechtlichen und regulatorischen Rahmen kultiviert wird, den die Politik zu schaffen habe. Tatsnchlich ist dieser Rahmen aber selbst nur als Ergebnis einer langwierigen und berraschungsreichen Evolution zu haben, die sich nicht durch politische Entscheidungen ersetzen und auch nur begrenzt beeinflussen lnsst. Deswegen wird hier die Gegenthese vertreten, dass die Freigabe der Wirtschaft von politischer Bevormundung recht oft berhaupt erst die Voraussetzungen dafr schafft, dass das Rechtssystem eine Entwicklung nehmen kann, die wirtschaftliche Hochleistungen ermAglicht. Gezeigt wird dies am Beispiel von vier postkommunistischen Lnndern: Bulgarien, Kroatien, Slowakei und Tschechien. Das theoretische Instrumentarium wird insbesondere von der Luhmannschen Rechtssoziologie bezogen, ferner von der Freiburger Schule und der Posnerschen RechtsAkonomik. Das Buch wendet sich vor allem an Sozial- und Wirtschaftswissenschaftler, aber auch an Juristen und Zeithistoriker."
