DiMatteo deftly analyses the key principles, rules and frameworks which have shaped Anglo-American contract law, as well as highlighting important legislative acts that have changed and modernised its development.

‘The book explores both the English and American common law of contracts, as well as examining the substance and theories of contract law, wonderfully drawing from American and English case law and scholarship. Its narrative of the broad principles of contract law and theory is intermixed with deeper analyses of specific areas of contract law. Professor DiMatteo is not only a world renowned expert on contract law but is also an extraordinary teacher and scholar who admirably covers the book’s broad subject matter. The book will be of great interest to students, scholars, and practitioners in common law and civil law countries!’

‘Alongside an engaging account of the evolution of Anglo-American contract law – an account rich with doctrinal detail and theory – Larry A. DiMatteo''s commentary invites reflection on the flexibility of general legal principles when transactional practices are disrupted. This is a book not only for contract lawyers but also for our technological times.’
