Protección al consumidor sin derecho

  • Omri Ben-Shahar The University of Chicago

Resumen

Explora mecanismos alternativos al sistema de protección al consumidor basado en remedios contractuales. Se plantea que, en la práctica, existen diversos mecanismos que surgen espontáneamente, sin necesidad de un diseño legal específico, y que suelen proteger mejor a los consumidores que los cuerpos normativos protectivos. En un contexto en el que parece concebirse a la protección al consumidor como una tarea puramente legislativa, el autor asume la tarea de cuestionar esta tendencia.
