Summary

Classical Law Codes explores how ancient Greek and Roman legal systems shaped Western concepts of justice and governance. It offers a comparative analysis, highlighting differences in codification, civil rights, and property regulation. One intriguing insight is how Roman law, with its emphasis on codification, had a more direct impact than the more philosophical Greek legal practices. The book demonstrates how these systems, though ancient, still resonate in contemporary legal discourse.

 
The book unfolds in three parts, beginning with the historical and social context of Greek law, particularly in Athenian democracy. It then examines Roman law, from the Twelve Tables to Justinian's Corpus Juris Civilis, tracing the evolution of legal thought and institutions.

 
Finally, it directly compares the two systems, focusing on property rights, contracts, and criminal justice, revealing how each system addressed social inequality and individual liberties. Through primary sources and scholarly analysis, this book provides a nuanced understanding of classical legal systems and their lasting legacy.

    A case for why regionalization, not globalization, has been the biggest economic trend of the past forty years 
 
 
 
The conventional wisdom about globalization is wrong. Over the past forty years as companies, money, ideas, and people went abroad more often than not, they looked regional rather than globally. O'Neil details this transformation and the rise of three major regional hubs in Asia, Europe, and North America. Current technological, demographic, and geopolitical trends look only to deepen these regional ties. O'Neil argues that this has urgent implications for the United States. Regionalization has enhanced economic competitiveness and prosperity in Europe and Asia. It could do the same for the United States, if only it would embrace its neighbors.
