Publisher's Synopsis
In Law and Economic Order Friesen gives us a provocative series of insights by deconstructing
the tension between 'maintaining order' and 'competition'. Requisite Economy helps to
deeply understand what is emerging in society by embracing a true holistic perspective. This
is a rich and compelling call-to-rethink for anyone looking for new ways to deal with societal
challenges. I strongly recommend reading it.

Law and Economic Order is an enormously challenging and important book to read: both
brilliant and opaque, traversing abstruse byways that only a handful of people in the world
can follow, and in single sentences laying bare hidden structures governing the evolution
of law and economies that I will contemplate for years. This book is essential reading for
leaders in ethical societies, who are navigating the treacherous waters of an international legal
and economic order whose complexity may well exceed human cognitive limits to manage
humanely. Friesen has given us a compass that may well save us from disaster.

Friesen's Law and Economic Order has put me to an intense but rewarding work of interpretation...
I hope that reading Law and Economic Order may resonate with the reader's
own experiences in the way he or she deliberates over the Common Good (implicit or explicit
in his or her social network) and its values. I cannot leave out applying the rich principles
developed by Friesen in this work.

innovation processes and human activity systems
