Freedom and creativity, the two central driving forces behind innovation, characterize contract law with its leitmotif of private autonomy. Yet the relationship between contract law and innovation has barely been discussed until now. This volume's contributors initiate change by floodlighting a multi-facetted field, and examining, for example, the question of how contract law or contracts can be designed to enable or support innovation.
