'Olha Cherednychenko's book brings together two fields of law, market regulation and private law, often kept distinct from each other. The only way to provide a full account of European private law and to detect the potential of innovative ideas, regulatory models, and the interaction between law-making and law enforcement is to combine the two. The excellent analysis breaks the border of traditional legal thought.' Hans-W. Micklitz, European University Institute, Florence
