Law, Business and Society

by Tony McAdams

Don't Just Learn the Law, Learn the Law in Context!
In the tenth edition of "Law, Business, and Society," Tony McAdams discusses the role of the market, ethics/social responsibility, and the law in regulating the complex relationship between business and the larger society. McAdams examines whether the market and ethics/social responsibility have failed, and if government intervention is needed to maintain a healthy relationship between business practice and society's general welfare. The text serves as a general introduction to the legal system, including chapters on constitutional law, the common law of contracts and torts, and employment law. The closely written narrative, edited law cases, contemporary vignettes from daily life and an abundance of thought-provoking questions help convey key points. In addition, "Law, Business, and Society" precisely conforms to AACSB International accreditation expectations.

Great academic textbook for a MBA course

[Caitlin · Rating 4 out of 5]

I actually really enjoyed this law textbook, much more than the one used in my undergrad business law course. It had a nice mix of facts, real world examples, and illustrative cases. The questions at the end of each case and chapter were thought-provoking and helpful. I do agree with my professor that it's quite strange to talk about our legal system in the chapter before the Constitution, since the Constitution is the basis for our government, but I'll let it slide because this textbook is quite well written and helpful.
