Jody Kraus and Bob Scott on Equity, Personal Sovereignty, and Contract Theory

Jody Kraus teaches at Columbia University, he is a lawyer and a philosopher by training, and focuses his scholarship on the relationship between moral and economic theories of law in general, with particular emphasis on contract law. Robert Scott is a Professor Emeritus at Columbia, and is an internationally recognized scholar and teacher in the fields of contracts, commercial transactions, and bankruptcy, and one of the leading figures of the economic analysis of contract law. 

I talk to them about the work on personal sovereignty and against equity in American contract law.
