LAW AND POLITICAL ECONOMY COLLECTIVE

Every film has a foreground story, and a background of rules that quietly shapes it. Each episode, we take one movie and look past the hero, the villain, and the love story to ask what the law is doing behind the scenes. Through the lens of Law and Political Economy, we explore how property, contract, and family law make markets, decide who can walk away, and determine who bears the losses. Change the background rules, and you change who wins and who loses.
