This book provides a comprehensive examination of the complex issues surrounding corporate compliance. It delves into the question of whether corporations should adhere to the spirit or the letter of the law, exploring the role of compliance in a capitalist market economy. The author challenges the notion that compliance is merely a form of capitalism and presents a persuasive argument for the legitimacy of spirited compliance within a market-oriented system.

Drawing from classical liberal ideology, the author examines how the architecture of firms influences individuals' compliance decisions when acting within a corporate setting. The book also explores the social psychology behind corporate behavioral change, offering valuable insights into achieving this goal for the benefit of both the market and society as a whole.

With its insightful analysis and thought-provoking arguments, this book is a valuable resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers interested in understanding the dynamics of corporate compliance and its impact on economic and social outcomes. It received Honorable Mention in the 2021 SLS Peter Birks Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship.
