Decisions, decisions


★★★★✩
For Foucault, choice is illusory for a society conditioned to self-regulation, developed metaphorically through Bentham’s panopticon, the prison where you may or may not be watched. How do we know what choice is and when it is being exercised?  Ironically, perhaps, there is a plethora of theories of choice one could adopt, and this fascinating selection of essays puts forward a few of them.
Opening with theoretical perspectives on behavioural, rational choice and game theory, the book considers individual, collective and organisational choice as applied to law.
Of interest to practitioners might be the chapter on decision-making in the corporate entity. Julian Velasco of Notre Dame Law School characterises corporate law as ‘the law concerning who gets to make… business decisions’. The board, in a UK/US context, is vested with all powers of the company (subject to member reserved powers): it is identification of the decision-makers rather than the decision that is important. This is unexpectedly subversive: for all the work being done on choice and law, law may not be a tool for decision-making at all.
