The Rules of Laws: A 4000 Year Quest to Order the World by Fernanda Pirie
The Rules of Laws: A 4000 Year Quest to Order the World by Fernanda Pirie

Drawing on cutting-edge archaeology and textual research, anthropologist Fernanda Pirie traces the development of some of the world's greatest legal systems - Chinese, Indian, Roman and Islamic - in a landmark global history. Almost all the laws enforced throughout the world today are modelled on systems exported by Europeans in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. But they were not filling a void - they displaced local traditions that were already ancient by the Middle Ages. Even the Romans were inspired by earlier precedents.
Where, then, did it all begin? What fascinating, sophisticated approaches to justice have since been lost? And how have these different laws helped ordinary people in their struggles for a better world?
