About this product
Product Information
In Ill-Gotten Gains , Leo Katz describes the underlying principles that not only guide the law but also moral decisions. Mixing wit with insight, anecdotes with analysis, Katz uncovers what is really at stake in crimes such as insider trading, blackmail, and plagiarism.

Posner, New Republic "A good, well-written book full of interesting examples."- Library Journal " An] elegant defense of circumvention and subterfuge . . . a heroically counterintuitive book."-Malcolm Gladwell, New Yorker
