Over 2 billion people, or 61% of the world's employed population, are engaged in the informal economy. This pervasive phenomenon plays a crucial role in understanding a wide range of concepts, including development, work, employment, governance, and growth. However, its scope extends far beyond mere economic definitions and political agendas. As the book argues, at the heart of informality lies another significant yet often overlooked or inadequately addressed phenomenon: noncompliance with the law. While much attention has been focused on the economic aspects over the past five decades, the legal aspect, which is one of its defining features, has received less attention. This book aims to rectify this imbalance by taking the first steps toward understanding the legal nature of noncompliance through the lens of a case study on street vendors in Brazil.

The book begins by examining what can be considered noncompliance and the various forms that noncompliant behavior can take. It then proceeds to explore the most striking impacts of noncompliance, specifically what happens to the legal system when noncompliance becomes pervasive.

The Nature and Impacts of Noncompliance received prestigious awards in 2022. The European Award for Legal Theory was bestowed upon it by the European Academy of Legal Theory (EALT), recognizing its contributions to legal theory. Additionally, the book received the Prêmio Abrafi de Teses 2022 from the Brazilian Association for Philosophy of Law and Sociology of Law (Abrafi), acknowledging its excellence in legal research.

In conclusion, the informal economy is a vast and complex phenomenon that encompasses a significant portion of the world's workforce. Noncompliance with the law is a crucial aspect of this economy, and this book provides valuable insights into its nature, impacts, and the legal dimensions of informality. By examining the case study of street vendors in Brazil, it sheds light on the ways in which noncompliance affects the legal system and highlights the need for a more comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon.
