Where Did Our Business Laws and Regulations Come From - How Have They Changed?

By Lance Winslow

The Business Laws in our nation and our regulations have become so complex they seem to be choking the viability of not only our court system, but also adding layers of laws to companies to the point of suffocation.

The bureaucracy is not only in government, but it has reached all levels of business small, medium and large. Of course, some rules of the game are needed to help our economic machine with standardization.

But, with all the case law, written laws and lawsuits, the laws no longer serve the purpose of allowing business to know in advance what to expect or give them adequate measure to dictate policies within their companies.

One thing that I have noticed is that if you pick up an old business law book prior to 1940, well, there is no much in it. It's pretty simple and down to earth. When reading through the chapters you'll find that it all makes sense, it's all traceable and you can find meaning.

Today things are much different. I would advise any MBA student or individual looking to get into business law to read old business law books and text books. In fact, let me recommend a very good one to you that I have in my own personal library:

"A Text Book of Law and Business" by William H. Spencer; McGraw-Hill Book Company Incorporated; New York, NY; 1938.

If you ever find yourself asking the questions; 1.) Where Did Our Business Laws and Regulations Come From or; 2.) How Have Our Business Laws Changed Over the Years? Then just reading through this work will shed some light on the subject. So, think on it.
