Abstract
Franchising: Trap for the Trusting. By Harold Brown. Boston, Toronto: Little, Brown and Company, 1969. Pp. viii, 180. $15.00.
This slender volume was not written as a work of impartial scholarship. Rather, it is a forceful lawyer's brief which pinpoints serious inequities in the present franchising system and sounds a clarion call for reform. One of the book's major premises is that the franchise agreement presently in use by most franchisors is "an instrument of repression."l Much of the book consists of presenting the case in support of that charge. The balance of the book considers a variety of remedies for the ills of the franchising game and urges several which seem promising.
The Efficacy of Law. By Harry W. Jones, Evanston, Illinois: Northwestern University Press, 1969. Pp. vi, 117.
Professor Harry W. Jones, in his essay "A View From the Bridge," offered meaningful direction to those pursuing law-related sociological research. Professor Jones urged, "Contemporary scholarship in the sociology of law is making insufficient use of jurisprudential insights as hypotheses for empirical investigation and verification."
