With the sad passing of my friend and mentor Henry Manne, it seems appropriate to point out that he is one of the few American legal scholars whose works have been collected into a single set of three edited volumes. The Collected Works of Henry G. Manne
Volume 1, The Economics of Corporations and Corporate Law, includes Manne's seminal writings on corporate law and his landmark blend of economics and law that is today accepted as a standard discipline, showing how Manne developed a comprehensive theory of the modern corporation that has provided a framework for legal, economic, and financial analysis of the corporate firm.
Volume 2, Insider Trading, uses Manne's ground-breaking Insider Trading and the Stock Market as a framework for many of Manne s innovative contributions to the field, as well as a fresh context for understanding the complex world of corporate law and securities regulation.
Volume 3, Liberty and Freedom in the Economic Ordering of Society, includes selections exploring Manne's thoughts on corporate social responsibility, on the regulation of capital markets and securities offerings, especially as examined in Wall Street in Transition, on the role of the modern university, and on the relationship among law, regulation, and the free market.
I was honored to be chosen as the editor for the second volume. You can download my introduction, Manne on Insider Trading, from SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1096259
