Law and market economy: The triadic linking of law, economics, and semiotics

An open society, in which an open legal system usually predominates, rests not on the assumption that the world is fully created once and for all, but rather on the belief in the possibility of real change in the world, that is, on the conviction that the universe becomes and not that it is, that something really new may be created, and not that this real novelty is not manifest in the actual order of things but is present in the evolving concepts of signs which stand for a reinterpretation of values and meanings of relationships between things. © 1999 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
