Two Victorian Era movements affected American legal thought: Darwinian natural selection and marginalist economics. Darwinism emphasized instinct and random selection; marginalism emphasized rational choice. Notwithstanding profound differences in the assumptions and methodologies of these movements, American legal theory accommodated both. This book explores these issues in a number of legal disciplines and time periods, including Progressive Era redistributive policies, American common law, public law, and laws regarding corporations and competition.
