‘Economic Foundations of Injury and Death Damages is a terrific
collection of articles on the economics of damages payments in
personal injury cases. The editors Roger Kaufman, James Rodgers,

reflected the diverse points of view. This volume brings to life
many of the courtroom battles that these articles have generated.
This wide ranging volume will be of enormous value to economists
and practicing attorneys.'
