A distinguished Yale economist and legal scholar’s argument that law, of all things, has the potential to rescue us from the next economic crisis.

After the economic crisis of 2008, private-sector spending took nearly a decade to recover. Yair Listokin thinks we can respond more quickly to the next meltdown by reviving and refashioning a policy approach whose proven success is too rarely acknowledged. Harking back to New Deal regulatory agencies, Listokin proposes that we take seriously law’s ability to function as a macroeconomic tool, capable of stimulating demand when needed and relieving demand when it threatens to overheat economies.

Listokin makes his case by looking at both positive and cautionary examples, going back to the New Deal and including the Keystone Pipeline, the constitutionally fraught bond-buying program unveiled by the European Central Bank at the nadir of the Eurozone crisis, the ongoing Greek crisis, and the experience of U.S. price controls in the 1970s. History has taught us that law is an unwieldy instrument of macroeconomic policy, but Listokin argues that under certain conditions it offers a vital alternative to the monetary and fiscal policy tools that stretch the legitimacy of technocratic central banks near their breaking point while leaving the rest of us waiting and wallowing.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This book challenges the economic orthodoxy which has governed tax policy over the past four decades, and reclaims John Maynard Keynes's fundamental insights for the twenty-first century. Listokin's neo-Keynesianism can transform the tax code into a powerful force for both social justice and economic prosperity over the next generation.”―Bruce Ackerman, author of We the People

“For decades, microeconomics has dominated the field of law and economics. Yair Listokin's book turns law's attention to macroeconomics and, in doing so, identifies crucial but overlooked strategies for fighting the next recession. Few books have an impact on theory and practice, but Listokin's Law and Macroeconomics promises to change our thinking in both arenas.”―Heather K. Gerken, Yale Law School

“Legal scholars have been trying to ignore macroeconomics for decades, but the problems of growth, deficits, money supply, and recession won't let themselves be ignored. Fortunately, Yair Listokin's fine book illuminates the path forward.”―Eric A. Posner, University of Chicago Law School

Thought-provoking and very well written

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2020

This book presents a unique argument: That macroeconomic goals should be considered in the course of setting legal policies and making regulatory decisions. It is very clearly written, understandable by the educated layperson and not laden with jargon or equations. The author starts by explaining the foundations of macroeconomics, then identifies several legal and political policy areas in which macroeconomic goals (for example, reducing the severity of economic down-cycles) might be imported. His discussion of each policy area -- including utility regulation and tax law -- is a mini-seminar that highlights its political and legal dynamics. The presentation is balanced yet persuasive -- the author anticipates counter-arguments and discusses them in an open-minded and fair manner. It is a pleasure to watch a brilliant mind dissect a wide range of policy issues and shine a unique intellectual light on each of them.

A Great Mind Simplifies Complex Ideas

In combining two different disciplines, economics and law, this very well written book provides some solutions for wickedly complex problems like recessions. The writer’s education at Harvard, Princeton and Yale, certainly shines through. I quite enjoyed the read.
