 Like other skeptics about causation, the legal economists do not rest content in their demythologizing of the metaphysics of causation. Such economists also have a more positive account of what should be made of the law’s causation-drenched requirements for liability. The positive, reconstructive prescriptions of the law and economics theorists differ from those of the Crits and the Legal Realists in that the policy favored is much more specific: liability (including the supposedly causal requirements for liability) should give incentives for efficient behavior. Yet unnoticed by the economists was that this monistic policy focus on efficiency made their causal skepticism unnecessary and beside the point in their recommendations about what “cause” should mean in law.
