Gordon' Alain Marciano2 - Giovanni B. Ramello3 Published online: 30 July 2019 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2019 JEL Classification K00 - B31 - B40 In 1991, the American Law and Economics Association identified Guido Calabresi, Ronald Coase, Henry Manne and Richard Posner as the founders of the 'law and economics' movement. The European Journal of Law and Economics has already devoted a special issue to each of the last three.' It is now Calabresi's turn. The order has no particular meaning and the current issue in Calabresi's honor does not depend on a desire to complete the list. Rather, we waited for a very special occasion to celebrate Calabresi's work-the publication of his latest book, The Future of Law and Economics (2016). The appearance of this book provided a tempting opportunity to gather a num- ber of well-known scholars to reflect on the current state of the discipline and iden- tify its new future challenges-under Guido Calabresi's guidance.2 Now, here is the resultant special issue, devoted to the fourth founder of the law and economics movement. The fact that this special issue is published in the European Journal of Law and Economics is especially significant, in part because of the special connec- tion between Guido Calabresi and Europe, but also because of the link between 'law and economics' and Europe. 1 On Coase, 2011, 31 (1); on Posner, 2017, 43 (3); on Manne, 2018, 46 (2). 2 The papers were presented at the conference, Guido Calabresi and the Future of Law and Econom- ics. The conference, at which Calabresi also spoke and responded, was held at Boston University, June 1-2, 2017, and was generously funded by Boston University and its School of Law (http://www.bu.edu/ law/2017/02/27/guido-calabresi-and-the-future-of-law-and-economics/).
