Abstract
Law, like economics, is an evolutionary process of ongoing discourse in which new norms emerge from prior norms. It is a continuous process of dynamic change with conflict and competition between alternative conceptions of the “good,” “fair,” and “just” society. On this ever-changing landscape of legal evolution one needs to find a contextual foundation for critical commentary and interspection. Classical liberal theory forms the basis of my critique of law and in particular of the takings issue.
