Grant M. Hayden & Matthew T. Bodie have posted “Larry
from the Left: An Appreciation” on SSRN.
Here is the abstract:
This essay approaches the scholarship of the late Professor
Larry Ribstein from a progressive vantage point. It argues that Ribstein's
revolutionary work upended the "nexus of contracts" theory in
corporate law and provided a potential alternative to the regulatory state for
those who believe in worker empowerment and anti-cronyism. Progressive
corporate law scholars should look to Ribstein's scholarship not as a hurdle to
overcome, but as a resource to be tapped for insights about constructing a more
egalitarian and dynamic economy.
