Summary
The theory of private law must take into account the findings of different disciplines in order to develop an adequate description of society. It is therefore beyond question today that the findings of law and economics hold important insights for legislation and the application of law. The survey of a single neighbouring discipline, however, necessarily leads to a reduction in complexity. This reduction in complexity is helpful for developing theoretical models, but insufficient for adequately coping with legal problems.
