The Code of Capital: How the Law Creates Wealth and Inequality by Katharina Pistor

challenging informative reflective slow-paced

5.0

Extremely insightful and a great book. Although Pistor really tries to make it reachable for a mass audience, I suppose lawyers can only "try" and reading law does make our language inaccessible for the most part. This is a very necessary intervention to the burgeoning commercial laws, and their internationalization. We need to rethink what purpose law serves, whether it is the broader society or capital? If the law can choose between these two, how is the "it is legal" response always right?  These are some interesting questions that the book will hope to make you think about.
