'In this well-argued and persuasive book, Hanoch Dagan undertakes a doctrinal and normative analysis of the American law of restitution … Professor Dagan's approach to this multifaceted field requires him to wear different masks on different occasions, appearing [] sometimes as status quo-reinforcing conservative and other times as rule-revising revolutionary. The comprehensiveness and clarity of the book unlocks the exciting practical and theoretical potential of, to invoke Richard A. Epstein's metaphor, a common law coach restored to its former stability running atop four robust substantive wheels.' Harvard Law Review
