Toward a Reformulation of the Law of Contracts

A sketch of the title-transfer approach has been offered here and it seems plausible that this approach is more consistent and rationally defensible than either the present law of contracts or a pure promised expectations approach. The title-transfer model seems to be able to handle adequately the historic problem areas of the law of contracts. In addition, it meshes well with the rights set forth in the Bill of Rights and proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence. It would seem that the title-transfer model might well be the appropriate law of contracts for a free society.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
