商品描述
This textbook focuses on the interrelationships between economic elements and legal principles with regard to business and company law. Three jurisdictions are taken into consideration: US, UK, and Italian law (the last of which was chosen as a "prototype" of continental European legal systems). The economic elements underlying business and company law are actually common to the three legal systems and, consequently, their legal principles and rules are similar despite one jurisdiction (namely, Italy) being based on civil law and the other two on common law. Their similarities are also due to the historical origins of the legal instruments that are covered by the book: partnership law dates back to the Romans, while company law can be traced back to English law. Roman law and English law have influenced, respectively, partnership law and company law around the globe. The book addresses the following topics: proprietorship law, partnership law and company law. For each topic, it first identifies the economic and legal elements that are shared by the three jurisdictions, then explores each one separately to highlight the differences. The textbook is based on over thirty years of research on business and company law conducted by the author in Italy, the UK and US and more than fifteen years of teaching this subject to international students at Luiss G. Carli University of Rome as part of its Bachelor of Economics and Business program.

這本教科書專注於經濟要素與法律原則之間的相互關係，特別是針對商業法和公司法。考慮到三個法域：美國、英國和意大利法（最後一者被選為大陸歐洲法律系統的「原型」）。商業法和公司法背後的經濟要素實際上在這三個法律系統中是共同的，因此，儘管一個法域（即意大利）基於民法，而另外兩個則基於普通法，但它們的法律原則和規則仍然相似。它們的相似性也源於本書所涵蓋的法律工具的歷史起源：合夥法可以追溯到羅馬時期，而公司法則可以追溯到英國法律。羅馬法和英國法分別影響了全球的合夥法和公司法。本書探討以下主題：所有權法、合夥法和公司法。對於每個主題，首先識別三個法域共同的經濟和法律要素，然後分別探討每一個，以突顯其差異。這本教科書基於作者在意大利、英國和美國進行的超過三十年的商業法和公司法研究，以及在羅馬的盧伊斯·G·卡爾利大學教授這門課程超過十五年的經驗，該課程是其經濟與商業學士學位計劃的一部分。
