Contract law, Contract theory, Formal equality, Substantial equality, Distributive justice

Resumo

Mainstream contract theories are built on ideals of formal equality and autonomy as inde- pendence. In the last decades, however, substantial inequalities came to be pervasively acknowledged, challenging some major tenets of these mainstream theories. This article elaborates on the wide-ranging acknowledgement of inequality in contract law and discusses its theoretical and epistemological impli- cations, drawing on recent papers by Aditi Bagchi, Hanoch Dagan, and Martijn Hesselink.
