摘要：In this short paper commenting on Chein's contribution to the present and special issue of this Journal, I ask whether economic analysis of law, when understood as supporting, in particular, the state intervention in the market, needs moral foundations. This seems to be one of the claims made by Chein, and my answer is certainly “yes.” Economic analysis of law and state intervention in the market certainly need some moral ground (utilitarian, Kantian, or else). What I resist is Chein's claim that they need the complex theoretical construction of Dworkin's idea of integrity plus Taylor's idea of identity and Bankowski's idea of living lawfully.
