What is the theoretical basis for contracts? One important theory of contracts posits that contracts should be understood as promises. Professor Randy Barnett explains why he thinks that the morality of promise is the wrong morality to focus on in contractual relationships.

Professor Randy E. Barnett is the Carmack Waterhouse Professor of Legal Theory at the Georgetown University Law Center, where he teaches constitutional law and contracts, and is Director of the Georgetown Center for the Constitution.
