دانلود کتاب Consumer Protection in the Age of the 'Information Economy' (Markets and the Law) (Markets and the Law)

To date, there have been few theoretical inquiries into the relationship between the basic objectives of consumer protection laws and technological innovation. This book addresses this need by considering the impact of technological innovation on the foundations of consumer advocacy, contracting behaviour, control over intellectual capital and information privacy. The collection presents a unique and timely perspective on these issues. The authors, internationally renowned experts, from diverse areas such as consumer issues in technology markets; contract, and intellectual property provide a fresh perspective on these topics. Contributions provide novel approaches to the question of what consumer protection might consist of in the context of technological innovation. The book will be a valuable resource to academics and researchers in law and public policy and is easily accessible to graduate and undergraduate students working in these areas.
