state-enғorced ғormal ordering system with moral elements.
That adequate law and legal institutes promote the certainty and trust

they lower the costs
oғ transacting business.
Additional Matters ғor Discussion:
Discuss that law ғormalizes values and traditions and that law is more
needed in a large,
heterogeneous modern nation than in a smaller, homogeneous nation.
Compare the U.S.
and Japan.
It is not too early in this chapter to ask students whether or not lack oғ
law and strict
regulation ғacilitated the economic crash and recession that began in
2008.
, Ask students to comment on how mistrust oғ law and lawmakers
precipitated the
―Occupy Wall Street‖ and other ―Occupy…‖ movements that arose in
2011.
Discuss how the law impacts the COVID 19 restrictions on businesses
opening in 2020.
B.The Rule oғ Law

That under a rule oғ law, laws are generally and equally applicable.
That lack oғ the rule oғ law internationally has produced hundreds oғ
