Readers who appreciate economic theory and legal studies will find R. H. Coase's The Problem of Social Cost compelling. This seminal work delves into the Coase theorem and market externalities. Comparable to Freakonomics for its innovative economic insights, it attracts those intrigued by how legal rules affect economic efficiency.
